A gun offender shall register, and keep the registration current, in each jurisdiction where the offender resides, where the offender is an employee, and where the offender is a student. For initial registration purposes only, a gun offender shall also register in the jurisdiction in which convicted if such jurisdiction is different from the jurisdiction of residence. The gun offender shall initially register— before completing a sentence of imprisonment with respect to the offense giving rise to the registration requirement; or not later than 5 business days after being sentenced for that offense, if the gun offender is not sentenced to a term of imprisonment.
A gun offender shall, within 5 business days after each change of name, residence, employment, or student status, appear in person in at least 1 jurisdiction involved pursuant to subsection
(a)and inform that jurisdiction of all modifications in the information required for that offender in the gun offender registry. That jurisdiction shall immediately disclose that information to all other jurisdictions in which the offender is required to register. The requirements of this section shall not apply to any gun offender who was convicted prior to the date of the enactment of this Act, or to any gun offender who is a minor on the date that the individual is convicted of a gun offense. Each jurisdiction, other than a federally recognized Indian Tribe, shall provide a criminal penalty that includes a maximum term of imprisonment that is not longer than 6 months for the failure of a gun offender to comply with the requirements of this Act.
