SORNA Fiscal Year 2016 Program Application

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will utilize grant funds towards the development and/or enhancement of 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 procuring SORNA compliance hardware and software. The hardware and software will assist to integrate key state government agencies to comply with the SORNA-related requirements.
