211.425. 1. Any person who has been adjudicated a delinquent by a

juvenile court for committing or attempting to commit a sex-related offense

which if committed by an adult would be considered a felony offense pursuant

to chapter 566 including, but not limited to, rape, forcible sodomy, child

molestation and sexual abuse, shall be considered a juvenile sex offender and

shall be required to register as a juvenile sex offender by complying with

the registration requirements provided for in this section, unless such

juvenile adjudicated as a delinquent is fourteen years of age or older at the

time of the offense and the offense adjudicated would be considered a felony

under chapter 566 if committed by an adult, which is equal to or more severe

than aggravated sexual abuse under 18 U.S.C. Section 2241, including any

attempt or conspiracy to commit such offense, in which case, the juvenile

shall be required to register as an adult sexual offender under sections

589.400 to 589.425. This requirement shall also apply to any person who is or

has been adjudicated a juvenile delinquent in any other state or federal

jurisdiction for committing, attempting to commit, or conspiring to commit

offenses which would be proscribed herein.



2. Any state agency having supervision over a juvenile required to

register as a juvenile sex offender or any court having jurisdiction over a

juvenile required to register as a juvenile sex offender, or any person

required to register as a juvenile sex offender, shall, within ten days of the

juvenile offender moving into any county of this state, register with the

juvenile office of the county. If such juvenile offender changes residence

or address, the state agency, court or person shall inform the juvenile office

within ten days of the new residence or address and shall also be required to

register with the juvenile office of any new county of residence.

Registration shall be accomplished by completing a registration form similar

to the form provided for in section 589.407. Such form shall include, but is

not limited to, the following:



(1) A statement in writing signed by the juvenile, giving the juvenile's

name, address, Social Security number, phone number, school in which

enrolled, place of employment, offense which requires registration, including

the date, place, and a brief description of such offense, date and place of

adjudication regarding such offense, and age and gender of the victim at the

time of the offense; and



(2) The fingerprints and a photograph of the juvenile.



3. Juvenile offices shall maintain the registration forms of those

juvenile offenders in their jurisdictions who register as required by this

section. Information contained on the registration forms shall be kept

confidential and may be released by juvenile offices to only those persons and

agencies who are authorized to receive information from juvenile court

records as provided by law, including, but not limited to, those specified in

section 211.321. State agencies having custody of juveniles who fall within

the registration requirements of this section shall notify the appropriate

juvenile offices when such juvenile offenders are being transferred to a

location falling within the jurisdiction of such juvenile offices.



4. Any juvenile who is required to register pursuant to this section but

fails to do so or who provides false information on the registration form is

subject to disposition pursuant to this chapter. Any person seventeen years

of age or over who commits such violation is guilty of a class A misdemeanor

as provided for in section 211.431.



5. Any juvenile to whom the registration requirement of this section

applies shall be informed by the official in charge of the juvenile's

custody, upon the juvenile's discharge or release from such custody, of the

requirement to register pursuant to this section. Such official shall obtain

the address where such juvenile expects to register upon being discharged or

released and shall report the juvenile's name and address to the juvenile

office where the juvenile will be required to register. This requirement to

register upon discharge or release from custody does not apply in situations

where the juvenile is temporarily released under guard or direct supervision

from a detention facility or similar custodial facility.



6. The requirement to register as a juvenile sex offender shall terminate

upon the juvenile offender reaching age twenty-one, unless such juvenile

offender is required to register as an adult offender pursuant to section

589.400.
