It varies by state, so you'll have to be more specific. There are far too many variables to list for every US state and territory.

"Megan's Law" is an informal term which encompasses all laws in the U.S. that require law enforcement authorities to publicize information about registered sex offenders.

They are collectively called this due to the unfortunate rape and murder of the seven-year-old Megan Kanka in Mercer County, New Jersey in 1994.

Megan's Law has changed the way that people are convicted today in a major way. It has made it necessary for anyone convicted of a sexual type crime to have to register as a sex offender.

It is known as Megan's Law. The law was named after a little girl that was raped and murder because such a law was not in place at the time.
