Pennsylvania Supreme Court to Soon Determine Future of Sex Offender Registry

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court could soon determine the future of the state’s Megan’s Law sex offender registry. Justices will hear two cases challenging the registry’s constitutionality in early 2020. This comes after portions of the law were overturned 1999, 2003 and 2017. Each time, state legislators quickly introduced an adjusted version of the registry that complied with the Supreme Court’s ruling. The court already heard three cases in the fall and will hear two more in early 2020. That’s around the same time the justices are expected to rule on the earlier cases.
