When did the Adam Walsh Act become law?
History of Act:The initial act was HR-3132 `Children’s Safety Act of 2005′ which the House passed and sent to the Senate and died in the Senate. Then Rep. Sensenbrenner morphed HR-3132 into a new bill HR-4472 `Children’s Safety and Violent Crime Reduction Act of 2006′ which the House passed on 3-8-2006 and sent to the Senate. The Senate had serious concerns with HR-4472 and they developed their own version and passed it on 5-4-2006, it was called S-1086 `Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act’ (Note: there were two versions) sending it to the House. A stalemate, the House did not pass the Senate version. Both the House and the Senate knew they were at an impasse and that the President wanted something passed before election time.
