W. v. Sanders, 168 S.W.3d 65 (Mo.banc). (2006) Sections589.400 to 589.425are constitutional under ex post facto, due process, equal protection, bill of attainder, and special law provisions; however, application of registration requirement to persons who pled guilty or were found guilty prior to sections' effective date of January 1, 1995, violates constitutional ban on laws retrospective in operation.  Doe v. Phillips, 194 S.W.3d 833 (Mo.banc). (2023) Section mandates lifetime registration requirement in Missouri if the offender "has been" subject to federal registration requirements under Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, even if that federal obligation has expired.  Smith v. St. Louis County Police, 659 S.W.3d 895 (Mo.banc).
