The Oklahoma District Attorneys Council will enhance programs designed to implement the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) portion of the Adam Walsh Act (42 U.S.C. § 16901, et seq.). The Adam Walsh Act is designed to protect children and adults from sexual exploitation and violent crime, prevent child abuse and child pornography, promote Internet safety, and honor the memory of Adam Walsh and other crime victims. SORNA was enacted to protect the public from convicted sex offenders by establishing a comprehensive national system for the registration and notification of those offenders. This project will include enhancements to adapt the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry (SOR) to existing database structures. The state goal is to ensure registration software is fully compliant with all SORNA requirements. NCA/NCF
