 Department of Justice--Final Guidelines for the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender ...
Many of the provisions of the current formulation of the Wetterling Act derive from the original version of the Act, which was enacted on September 13, 1994, or from the Megan's Law amendment to the Act.
The final subsection of the Wetterling Act-which should be designated as subsection (h) but is designated as a second subsection (g) because of a technical drafting error in section 115(a)(3) of the CJSA--relates to a requirement under the Pam Lychner Act that certain offenders register directly with the FBI.
Thus, the initial deadline for complying with requirements derived from the Wetterling Act as originally enacted or from Megan's Law was September 12, 1997, and the deadline is now September 12, 1999, for states that have received a two-year extension based on good faith efforts to achieve compliance.
