International Megan's Law of 2010

Summary

International Megan's Law of 2010 - Requires registered sex offenders to notify appropriate jurisdictions of their intent to travel not later than 30 days before their departure from or arrival in the United States. Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to 10 years for failure to report such travel. Requires notice to registered sex offenders of their duty to report international travel. Requires diplomatic or consular missions in each foreign country to establish and maintain a countrywide, nonpublic, sex offender registry for sex offenders from the United States who temporarily or permanently reside in such country. Specifies the information required to be included in such registry, including passport and visa type, social security or alien registration number, addresses, and the purpose for the sex offender's residence in the country. Allows access to the registry by the general public. Directs the President to establish the International Sex Offender Travel Center to monitor the travel of high interest registered sex offenders (offenders who pose a high risk of committing a sex offense against a minor). Requires the Center to issue guidelines for the assessment of sex offenders who report travel from the United States to another country or whose travel is reported by law enforcement agencies. Authorizes the Secretary of State to revoke the passport of individuals convicted of a sex offense in a foreign country and limit to one year the validity of a passport issued to a high interest registered sex offender. Expresses the sense of Congress that the President should negotiate agreements with foreign governments to further the purposes of this Act. Amends the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 to include in the annual report of the Secretary of State on the status of severe forms of human trafficking efforts of foreign countries to identify and provide notice of international travel by sex offenders. Encourages the President to use authorities under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to assist foreign countries in identifying and providing notice of sex offenders traveling to the United States and other countries. Sets forth reporting requirements relating to the travel of international sex offenders.
