NOTES: Research Guide: EFTA00726925 Page 2 42 USCS § 16914 Annotations: Validity, Construction, and Application of Federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 US.CA. §§ 16901 et seq. [42 USCS§§ 16901 et seq.], its Enforcement Provision, 18 U.S.C.A § 2250 [18 USCS§ 2250], and Associated Regulations. 30 ALR Fed 2d 213. Interpretive Notes and Decisions: Defendants ex post facto challenge to registration requirements of Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 USCS §§ 16901 et seq., lacked merit because statute was civil in nature; individual provisions of SORNA, except for 18 USCS § 2250, were devoted to procedural issues; although SORNA required sex offenders to provide detailed personal information and appear in person so that jurisdiction could take current photograph and verify their information, 42 USCS §§ 16914, 16916, there was insufficient evidence to transform SORNA from civil scheme into criminal penalty.
