APD shall maintain a local registry and forward registration information to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office and the New Mexico Department of Public Safety no later than 90 consecutive calendar days after receipt of the information by APD. The City of Albuquerque will maintain a data base of sex offenders distinct from SORNA but may share SORNA data. Registration under SORNA does not exempt a sex offender from registration under ASORNA. The City of Albuquerque will make available and disseminate sex offender registration on the City of Albuquerque Megan's Law Website on the Internet. Inclusion of a sex offender in and on the city's data base and website is based solely on the fact of a prior conviction and not based on any assessment of the current degree of dangerousness posed by any particular sex offender. The website will conspicuously include the following statement: "The City's decision to post Sex Offenders on this website is based on the fact that the Sex Offender was convicted of a Sex Offense in the past. The City of Albuquerque has not assessed the specific risk posed by any particular individual Sex Offender or class of Sex Offenders and has made no determination regarding the current dangerousness or degree of dangerousness of any individual Sex Offender or class of Sex Offenders. The main purpose of providing this data on the Internet is to make the information more easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual."
