34 U.S.C. § 20923 — Megan Nicole Kanka and Alexandra Nicole Zapp Community Notification Program

(a) Establishment of Program. This section creates the Megan Nicole Kanka and Alexandra Nicole Zapp Community Notification Program, called "the Program" here. (b) Program notification. Except as subsection (c) allows, right after a sex offender registers or updates their registration, an appropriate official in that jurisdiction must send the registry information about that offender (minus anything the Attorney General exempts from disclosure) to: (1) the Attorney General, who adds it to the National Sex Offender Registry or other appropriate databases; (2) the relevant law enforcement agencies (including probation agencies, if appropriate), and every school and public housing agency, in each area where the offender lives, works, or studies; (3) every jurisdiction where the offender lives, works, or studies, and every jurisdiction the offender is moving from or to; (4) any agency that runs employment background checks under section 40102 of this title; (5) social service entities that protect minors in the child welfare system; (6) volunteer organizations where contact with minors or other vulnerable people might happen; and (7) any organization, company, or individual who asks for notification, following procedures the jurisdiction sets up. (c) Frequency. Despite subsection (b), an organization or individual described in (b)(6) or (b)(7) may choose to get these notifications in batches — no less often than once every five business days — instead of immediately.
