The Sex Offender Management Board (Board)
was not seated in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the Sex Offender

During testing, we noted the following:

2024, this position had been vacant for
2,007 days.

• As of June 30, 2024, the term for one of
the Board’s 22 (5%) appointees had expired.
The term for this member expired on June
19, 2019.  This position is to be filled
with a gubernatorial appointee.  (Finding

We recommended the Board continue to
communicate information regarding vacancies
and expired terms to the parties
responsible for making appointments.

The Board agreed with this recommendation.
