163A.100 Risk assessment methodology; rules. The State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision shall, in consultation with community corrections agencies, adopt by rule a sex offender risk assessment methodology for use in classifying sex offenders. The methodology may consider exclusively the risk the sex offender presented at the time the sex offender was released from custody, sentenced or otherwise discharged from the jurisdiction of a court of this state, or another United States court, for the crime or act for which the sex offender is required to report. Application of the risk assessment methodology to a sex offender must result in placing the sex offender in one of the following levels:
(1) A level one sex offender who presents, or presented at the time of release, sentencing or discharge, the lowest risk of reoffending and requires a limited range of notification.
(2) A level two sex offender who presents, or presented at the time of release, sentencing or discharge, a moderate risk of reoffending and requires a moderate range of notification.
(3) A level three sex offender who presents, or presented at the time of release, sentencing or discharge, the highest risk of reoffending and requires the widest range of notification. [Formerly 181.800; 2025 c.187 §1]
