In 1990, Washington began community notification of its most dangerous sex offenders, making it the first state to ever make any sex offender information publicly available. In 1994, a federal statute called the [[Jacob Wetterling Act]] required all states to pass legislation requiring sex offenders to register with state sex offender registries. Then again in 1996, based on a set of New Jersey laws called "[[Megan's Law]]s", the federal government required states to pass legislation mandating public notification of personal information for certain sex offenders. In ''[[Connecticut Dept. of Public Safety v. Doe]]'' (2002) the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed this public disclosure.<ref>{{cite web		In 1947, California became the first state in the United States to have a sex offender registration program.<ref>[http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/sexreg.aspx?lang=ENGLISH California Megan's Law – California Department of Justice – Office of the Attorney General]</ref> Community notification of the release of sex offenders from incarceration did not occur until almost 50 years later.

	On 12 January 2010, Cole County Circuit Judge Richard Callahan ruled that individuals who plead guilty to a sex offense are not required to register under Federal Law and thus are not required to register in Missouri if the date of their plea was prior to the passage of the Missouri registration law.<ref>[http://www.ky3.com/news/local/81091187.html "Judge says some Missouri sex offenders don't have to register their locations", January 10,2010]</ref>		On 12 January 2010, Cole County Circuit Judge Richard Callahan ruled that individuals who plead guilty to a sex offense are not required to register under Federal Law and thus are not required to register in Missouri if the date of their plea was prior to the passage of the Missouri registration law.<ref>[http://www.ky3.com/news/local/81091187.html "Judge says some Missouri sex offenders don't have to register their locations", January 10,2010]</ref>

	Missouri also has a number of laws that restrict the activities of persons required to register as sex offenders, several of which have also been challenged as being retrospective in their operation. On 19 February 2008, the Supreme Court of Missouri held that a law prohibiting registered sex offenders from residing within one thousand feet of a school was retrospective in operation as applied to registered sex offenders who had resided at a location within such a distance prior to the enactment of the law.<ref>[http://www.courts.mo.gov/Courts/PubOpinions.nsf/0f87ea4ac0ad4c0186256405005d3b8e/3103a986b6d147ff862573f400526863?OpenDocument ''R.L. v. Missouri Department of Corrections'', Case No. SC88644 (Mo. banc slip op. Feb. 19, 2008)]</ref> Another exception to the school-residence proximity requirement was handed down by the Court on 12 January 2010 in ''F.R. v. St. Charles County Sheriff's Department''. In this case, F.R. was convicted prior to the enactment of the law and the Court held that, as such, he was not required to abide by the restriction.<ref>[http://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=36535 ''F.R. v. St. Charles County Sheriff's Department'', No. SC89834]</ref> Consolidated with ''F.R.'' was ''State of Missouri v. Raynor'', in which the Court found that Charles A. Raynor was not required to comply with R.S.Mo. § 589.426, a law restricting the activities of registered sex offenders on Halloween.<ref>[http://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=36535 ''State of Missouri v. Charles A. Raynor'', No. SC90164]</ref> It should be noted that, in both ''F.R.'' and ''Raynor'', the ruling applies only to the named party.
