Official summary
Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.
Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires a person convicted of specified sex offenses, including a person who is discharged or paroled from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation after having been adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court because of the commission of specified sex offenses, to register with local law enforcement agencies while residing in the state or while attending school or working in the state. Existing law makes it a crime for a person required to register as a sex offender under the act to willfully violate any requirement of the act.
This bill would additionally require a person who is discharged or paroled from a secure youth treatment facility to register. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
