MORE THAN HALF OF SEX OFFENDERS DON'T HAVE TIER DESGINATION: More than half of all sexual offenders registered in Montana don't have a designation that indicates how likely they are to re-offend. Since 1997, convicted sexual offenders are supposed to be given a tier 1, 2 or 3 designation, identifying them from least to most likely to re-offend. Out-of-state offenders and those convicted before 1997 are treated as though they're tier 1 offenders, meaning they only have to check in once per year. The 2013 Legislature passed a bill that gave District Court judges the authority to assign a tier level to an offender after sentencing. Since then, 200 offenders have been evaluated and assigned tier levels.
