Reynolds v. US - an Analysis

Jan 30, 2012

Analysis by RSOL Legal Team

There is some confusion regarding the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court dealing with retroactivity of the Adam Walsh Act (AWA). There were three issues before the Court, but none involved the constitutionality of sex offender registration itself.   ...Reynolds was indicted by a federal grand jury for violating the AWA. The Indictment alleged that Reynolds had engaged in “interstate commerce” when he moved from Missouri to Pennsylvania without keeping his registration current in either jurisdiction. Reynolds filed a Motion to Dismiss the government’s Indictment, arguing that the “Interim Rule” was invalid because it violated both the Constitution’s “non-delegation” doctrine and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Reynolds did not challenge the constitutionality of registration itself.
