*Sections 566.123 and 566.124 do not exist, the terms referenced are defined in section 566.125.

(2009) Section is constitutional and does not operate retrospectively for those who committed offenses prior to its effective date as long as plea or conviction occurred after effective date. State v. Holden, 278 S.W.3d 674 (Mo.banc).

(2011) Section requiring sex offenders to report change in employment status does not violate constitutional prohibition against retrospective laws as applied to offender whose conviction predated statute's enactment. State v. Guyer, 353 S.W.3d 458 (Mo.App.W.D.).

(2012) Section requires updating status on sexual offense registry within three days of changing residence, rather than updating status only after obtaining new permanent residence. State v. Kelly, 367 S.W.3d 629 (Mo.App.E.D.).
