Removing prohibitions for offenders from living, working or loitering near school property or “student safety zones.” No longer requiring an offender’s tier classification to be included on the public website. Law enforcement personnel who willfully fail to periodically report on offenders would face a penalty.

Explain?
The approval of changes to the state’s Sex Offender Registration Act fulfills a 4-year-old mandate from the U.S. Court of Appeals, which ruled that it was unconstitutional to impose new restrictions on people convicted before the Act was updated.
House Bill 5679, sponsored by Rep. James Lower, R-Greenville, addresses that problem and was approved in the Senate by a 21-17 vote during the Dec. 16 session. The Michigan House approved the bill 80-24 on Dec. 2.
The proposed amendments to SORA in House Bill 5679 are:
Giving sex offenders no more than three days to register or report status changes in person with local law enforcement.
Requiring offenders to report all email addresses, social media names or other forms of “internet identifiers.” That would not apply retroactively to offenders prior to July 1, 2011, but anyone required to register after that date must comply.
Requiring all telephone numbers and vehicles used by the offender to be reported. Previously, they didn’t need to report those used on a less regular basis.
Allowing email addresses, social media usernames and other identifiers to be published on a public sex offender registry.
Removing prohibitions for offenders from living, working or loitering near school property or “student safety zones.”
No longer requiring an offender’s tier classification to be included on the public website. Law enforcement personnel who willfully fail to periodically report on offenders would face a penalty.

What's messed up is you didn't read the very short article in went into some canned, Q-inspired, 'Pedo Dems' rant when it turns out it was your boys who sponsored the bill.

I'm sure you can't and I bet you'll only be watching for 'research purposes'.

Ask yourself this, how did this bill get to her to sign from the Republican held legislature?
Since you didn't even read your own article:
