The Adam Walsh Act and Ohio Senate Bill 10 organize sex offender classification into three Tiers. The Ohio General Assembly chose to implement the Adam Walsh Act this year, and passed Senate Bill 10 and Senate Bill 97 in an effort to comply with the federal legislation. States must comply with this federal legislation by July 27, 2009, or risk losing 10% of a federal law enforcement grant. On July 27, 2006, President Bush signed into law a bill known as the Adam Walsh Act. Sexual Offender Classifications Background
