What is the name of your state? MN

There was a recent case in my town where a guy is in jail for molesting young boys. The guy that is accused of this is/was employed by the city, a school bus driver, a firefighter, and a business owner. Because of this investigation, it came out that he was convicted of a criminal sexual misconduct crime in the mid-1980s. I'm wondering if anyone knows when the law was passed that sex offenders have to register?

Not sure of the exact year but it was after 1990, I believe 1992

In MN it was apparently 1991:

(1991) Minnesota’s Sex Offender Registration Act

When Jacob Wetterling was abducted in 1989 a massive search was conducted and numerous leads were generated and logged. These leads became the foundation of a massive database that instigated the development of a sex offender list in Minnesota.


I am sure it has been tweaked and massaged since then.
