    With the proposed changes to Chapter 2950 this book may be short lived, but its importantance cannot be underestimated for those individuals whom the Attorney General will attempt to classify as Tier 3 (formally sexual predator) offenders. Individuals will only have one chance to challenge the classification and that will be with-in sixty days of their notification of their new classification. The factors of determining risk will be the same as they were in the past, but within a new section of Chapter 2950.
