  4. Internet Restrictions: Offenders required to register under specific sections will be prohibited from accessing or creating accounts on social networking sites that allow minors to create profiles.

  5. Modifications and Sanctions: Modifications to restrictions can be made by an intensive supervision agent if they do not compromise public safety. Furthermore, if an offender violates any conditions of their intensive supervised release, the commissioner can impose sanctions as detailed in existing statutes.

Overall, this bill seeks to strengthen the monitoring and supervision of level III predatory offenders, aiming to ensure better compliance with the terms of their release and enhanced safety for the community.
