3. “[W]ithin KORA, there are statutory provisions that argue against considering registration to be part of a criminal sentence. For example, if an individual is convicted of a qualifying crime, but remains free on bond pending sentencing, that individual is immediately obliged upon conviction to register within three days. See K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 22-4904(a)(1)(B). And failing to do so could cause that individual to be charged with a new crime for not registering—even before sentencing for the underlying conviction.”
