Shoshone-Bannock Tribes start sex offender registration system

Starting next week, sex offenders who live or work on the Fort Hall Reservation in Idaho will have to register with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.

The tribe developed its sex offender registration system under provisions of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, which is part of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The system will be available online and to the public.

Tribes are ahead of states in developing their systems.
