  2. FYI, this is just for the offenders in unincorporated. Not the cities

  3. Money will be hard for some since many are unemployed and states including Colorado to some extent want to make offenders and former offenders unemployable, yet the money is not too stringent for especially those who must re-register once a year. For those re-registering quarterly, within in a years time, this money can be significant.

    Keep in mind that anyone who is on probation especially is already digging deep in their pockets paying $3000 to $10000 per year in treatment.

    The financial burden is stiff and it is not entirely fair, but we are looking at an industry, the sex offender industry where there is a lot of money being made by states, contractors, and others selling their wares and services. On this point the financial burden is too burdensome.
