Bill S-266

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 06, 2023
Strengthening Reporting Requirements for Sex Offenders Act (Noah’s Law)
  • Bill S-266 aims to strengthen reporting requirements for sex offenders in Canada. The bill amends the Criminal Code and the Sex Offender Information Registration Act to allow courts to extend the period during which certain sex offenders must comply with reporting obligations, increase reporting frequency, and require offenders to report to a registration centre before moving to a new address. Sex offenders must complete a sexual behaviour treatment program before applying for termination of the order. Failure to comply with residency reporting requirements will be an offence punishable by law. The bill seeks to protect the public and prevent and investigate crimes of a sexual nature in Canada.
