Pursuant to Act 64 of 2011, A.C.A. § 12-12-909, the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) was directed to provide an electronic format for the law enforcement community to use to register, update and verify sex offenders in their jurisdiction. The system created by ACIC is called Centralized Electronic Network of Sex Offender Registries (CENSOR) The new legislation eliminated the need to mail certified letters to sex offenders informing them of their next verification date, which is indicated on the acknowledgement form. This form shall be printed from CENSOR and given to the offender upon completion of the registration process.

To verify residency, Levels 1, 2 & 3 offenders must present themselves every six (6) months to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. Levels 1, 2, and 3 sex offenders must notify ACIC and law enforcement of any change of address ten (10) days prior to change. For an unexpected emergency change of address as in the case of a dwelling fire or natural disaster changes must be reported within three (3) days. A.C.A § 12-12-906.

Sexually Dangerous Persons/Level 4 offenders must present themselves every three (3) months to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to verify residency. According to A.C.A § 12-12-923, Sexually Dangerous Persons (Level 4), released from confinement after 04/07/2006, are subject to electronic monitoring for ten (10) years.

Failure to register or maintain registration is a Class C Felony. A.C.A. § 12-12-904.
