(1) A person convicted of a sex offense who volunteers for an organization in which volunteers have direct, private and unsupervised contact with minors under the age of eighteen (18) shall notify the organization of the person’s conviction at the time of volunteering. Such notification must be in writing to the organization. Any organization which accepts volunteers must notify volunteers of this disclosure requirement upon application of the volunteer to serve or prior to acceptance of any of the volunteer’s service, whichever occurs first.
(2) If the organization, after notification by the offender as provided in subsection (1), accepts the offender as a volunteer, the organization shall make reasonable attempts to notify the parents or guardians of any minors under the age of eighteen (18) involved in the organization of the offender’s criminal record.
(3) This section applies to all registered sex offenders regardless of the date of conviction.
(4) Any person previously registered as a sex offender and who has a continuing obligation to be registered as a sex offender shall be notified of the person’s duty under this section with the first reregistration form to be sent to the person after July 1, 2004.
(5) If the registered sex offender is currently volunteering for such an organization, the sex offender must resign or notify the organization immediately upon receipt of notice or be subject to the penalties of this chapter.
(6) An organization acting in good faith in making the notification to parents or guardians under this section, or who fails in good faith to make such notification, shall not be liable in any civil or criminal action as a result of the notification or failure to notify.
