Registration Tiers in LaPlace
Louisiana assigns every convicted sex offender to a tier at sentencing. The tier controls how long the person must register and how often they must verify their address. The system is defined under RS 15:540 and RS 15:541.
Tier I registrants in LaPlace register for 15 years and verify once a year. This applies to lower-risk offense categories. One in-person check-in per year is required at the St. John Sheriff or LSP.
Tier II registrants register for 25 years and verify every six months. Two in-person check-ins per year. This tier covers a broader range of offenses including those involving minors in various circumstances.
Tier III registrants must register for life. They verify every 90 days four times a year in person. These are the most serious offenses. Tier III registrant information is always publicly available on the LSP registry.
All tiers must report any change in address, employer, phone, vehicle, or school within 3 days. Under RS 15:542, failing to register or keep information current is a felony. First offense carries up to 5 years in prison.
