The board shall monitor the compliance of the sexually violent predator.

(b) Notice.--A provider of counseling sessions under subsection (a) shall notify the district attorney of the county and the chief law enforcement officer as defined in section 8951 (relating to definitions) of the municipality where the provider is located that the provider is counseling sexually violent predators.

2018 Amendment. Act 29 reenacted and amended section 9799.70. Act 29 overlooked the addition by Act 10, but the amendments do not conflict in substance and have both been given effect in setting forth the text of section 9799.70.

Cross References. Section 9799.70 is referred to in section 9799.60 of this title; section 4915.2 of Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses).
