Plain-English summary
Violent Sexual Offender Parental Notification Act - Amends the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to require a State or State-authorized agency to: (1) notify community members or organizations vulnerable to a sexually violent offender who has registered under such Act of relevant information regarding that person; (2) make such information available to the public, free of charge, on an Internet web site; and (3) not release the identity of the victim of the offense that required such registration.
Requires the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance to implement a program awarding grants to each State to offset the costs of complying with such requirements.
