The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB) is receiving a federal Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant of $135,000 in Federal Fiscal Year 2025 funds, with a project period from September 2026 through December 31, 2027. This is a notice of intent announcing a grant award rather than a competitive solicitation. The funds support SORB's Public Website Modernization Project, which will redesign and modernize the agency's ten-year-old public website providing access to level 2 and level 3 sex offender registration information. The project addresses deficiencies identified in SMART's recent SORNA substantial implementation review and is intended to enhance user accessibility, reliability, and public safety functionality. The modernized website will serve parents, caregivers, community-based organizations, and the general public seeking registered sex offender information. The grant is administered by the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) under the federal Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program, which supports jurisdictions in implementing the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) national standards. Inquiries regarding the program should be directed to Jenny Barron at jenny.barron@mass.gov.
