Kelley Maves v. State of Alaska, Department of Public Safety

Summary

The court held that the 1995 regulation defining conviction to include convictions later set aside was invalid under the 1994 version of the Alaska Sex Offenders Registration Act. Because Maves’s Colorado conviction had been set aside, it could not be counted toward the two-conviction threshold for lifetime registration, so Maves was subject to a 15-year registration period. The court reversed and remanded the superior court’s decision.
