The Montana Sexual or Violent Offender Registry (SVOR) is undergoing major changes following a Montana Supreme Court ruling that limits what information the state can publicly share, even retroactively.
The decision affects more than 1,100 Montana sexual and violent offenders, 90 of whom are Tier 3, the highest risk offenders to the community. The order removes or reduces long-standing requirements for people who were convicted before newer registry laws were enacted.
