Additionally, the program assists state's in meeting requirements of federal legislation such as The Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, Megan's Law, and the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act, and their own state legislation regarding these issues.
