Create new rule for reporting instruction qualifications and processes for sex offenders to improve accessibility to requirements.  The addition of requesting the conviction paperwork (judgment and sentencing) pertaining to the sex offense, if available, is helpful for states to better determine registration/requirements in the receiving state, especially in cases where the instant offense is not the registerable sex offense.  Including reference to virtual sentencings will acknowledge in the rule the practice that many states have and will support the interpretation of this rule issued in the Legal Implications of Remote Hearings in Relation to ICAOS Rules issued in 2021 and avoid unnecessary denials of reporting instructions in these situations.
