Michigan SORA and Registration in Livonia
Michigan's Sex Offenders Registration Act is at MCL 28.721 et seq. It sets the rules for who must register, for how long, and how often. The three-tier system divides offenders by the seriousness of their offense. Tier I covers less serious offenses and requires 15 years of registration with one in-person verification per year. Tier II covers mid-level offenses and requires 25 years with two verifications per year. Tier III covers the most serious offenses and means lifetime registration with quarterly verification. All verifications happen during the offender's birth month and at set intervals after that.
Michigan's registry holds around 45,000 registered offenders statewide. Livonia offenders are part of that number and show up on the public PSOR just like any other Michigan offender. The tier level visible on the registry record tells you how long that person must stay registered and how often they must check in. Tier III is the highest risk category and carries the most stringent reporting schedule. Missing a verification is a misdemeanor under MCL 28.729. Failing to register at all is a felony with up to four years in prison for a first offense.
In October 2024, a federal judge ruled that certain provisions of SORA are unconstitutional. The ruling could affect around 17,000 people who were on lifetime registration, potentially moving them to a 25-year term instead. The Michigan legislature was given 90 days to pass corrective legislation. If you are a Livonia offender affected by this ruling, contact an attorney or the MSP SOR Unit for guidance. The outcome for any individual depends on the specific offense and the new legislation.
Tier I offenders may petition to leave the registry after 10 years under MCL 28.728c. They must show that they have completed all supervision, have no new felony or listed offense convictions, and have met all other SORA requirements. The petition is filed in the circuit court of conviction. Tier II offenders may petition after 25 years. Tier III removal is generally not allowed, though limited exceptions exist for juvenile adjudications.
