LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1323, Vargas Registered sex offenders.
Pursuant to existing law, information about registered sex
offenders is made available by the Department of Justice via an
Internet Web site.
This bill would make conforming changes in provisions of law
regarding notices to be included in lease or rental agreements, or
contracts for sale of residential real property, and required
disclosures of an operator of a community care facility that accepts
a registered sex offender as a client, as specified.
Existing law provides that certain information regarding a
registered sex offender on a university, college, or community
college campus may be released to members of the campus community.
This bill would clarify that this information will be made
available regarding registered sex offenders as to whom information
is not available to the public via the Department of Justice Internet
Web site.
Existing law, operative until July 1, 2007, requires the
Department of Justice to continually compile information about
certain registered sex offenders categorized by community of
residence and ZIP Code, as specified, and to make that information
available to the public via a CD-ROM that can be reviewed at local
law enforcement agencies. Existing law also requires the department
to operate a "900" telephone number that members of the public may
call to inquire whether a named individual is among those registered
sex offenders about whom information is made available.
This bill would delete these provisions. This bill would instead
require the department to operate a service through which members of
the public may make an inquiry, regarding at least 6 individuals, as
to whether a particular individual is required to register as a sex
offender and is subject to public notification, as specified. This
bill would provide that the department may establish a fee for these
requests which shall be deposited into the Sexual Predator Public
Information Account within the Department of Justice. This bill would
also provide that misuse of the information provided by the service
is a crime punishable as specified.
Because this bill would change the definition of a crime, this
bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Existing law provides that whenever a peace officer reasonably
suspects that a child or other person is at risk from a sex offender,
a law enforcement agency may provide information about that
registered sex offender to persons, agencies, or organizations that
the offender is likely to encounter, as specified. Existing law also
provides that a designated law enforcement agency may advise the
public of the presence of high-risk sex offenders in its community,
as specified.
This bill would instead provide that any designated law
enforcement entity may provide information to the public about a
registered sex offender by whatever means the entity deems
appropriate when necessary to ensure the public safety; however, it
may not authorize disclosure of this information by another on an
Internet Web site.
Existing law requires the Department of Justice to make available
information concerning persons who are required to register as sex
offenders available to the public via an Internet Web site that
includes either the address at which the offender resides or the
community of residence and ZIP Code in which he or she resides.
Existing law provides that it is a crime, punishable as specified,
for a person who is required to register pursuant to this section to
enter the department's Internet Web site.
This bill would provide that if the offender is registered as a
transient, the county in which a person registered will be provided
on the Internet Web site. This bill would make other conforming
changes to these provisions. This bill would provide that a
designated law enforcement entity may make information concerning
registered sex offenders available via an Internet Web site. This
bill would provide that it is a crime for a person who is required to
register as a sex offender to enter any Internet Web site
established pursuant to these provisions.
Existing law provides that if a person has been convicted of the
commission or attempted commission of felony sexual battery,
misdemeanor child molestation, or specified sexual offenses for which
the offender is eligible for, granted, and successfully completes
probation, that person may file an application with the Department of
Justice for an exclusion from the Internet Web site, as specified.
This bill would revise this provision to no longer authorize a
person who has been convicted of the commission or attempted
commission of specified sexual offenses for which the offender is
eligible for, granted, and successfully completes probation to file
for an exclusion from the Internet Web site. The bill would, however,
authorize the application for exclusion from the Internet Web site
by a person who has been convicted of the commission or attempted
commission of an offense for which the offender is on probation at
the time of his or her application or has successfully completed
probation, as defined, provided the offender submits to the
Department of Justice a certified copy of an official court document,
as specified, that clearly demonstrates that the offender was the
victim's parent, stepparent, sibling, or grandparent, and the crime
did not involve specified sexual offenses.
Existing law provides that when any person is convicted of 2 or
more felonies and a consecutive term of imprisonment is imposed, the
aggregate term of imprisonment for all these convictions shall be the
sum of the principal term, the subordinate term, and any additional
term imposed for applicable enhancements. The principal term and the
subordinate term consist in part of the term imposed for specified
enhancements, as listed.
This bill would, with respect to the list of specified
enhancements upon which the calculation of the term of imprisonment
is in part based, add to that list (1) enhancements imposed for a
violation of the provisions relating to the dissemination of
specified information regarding sex offenders to the public via the
Internet Web site; and (2) enhancements imposed for a felony
violation of provisions relating to unlawful sexual intercourse,
sodomy, and lewd and lascivious acts committed with a minor for money
or other consideration.
Because this bill would expand the definition of a crime, it would
impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would make other conforming changes.
The bill would incorporate changes made by AB 439 that would
become operative if both bills are enacted and this bill is enacted
after AB 439.
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.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

birth, and a summary of the circumstances leading to the conviction,
including the date of the conviction and county of the occurrence.
(III) The department shall determine whether the person's
conviction was for conduct between consensual adults that has been
decriminalized. If the conviction was for consensual conduct between

offenses for which he or she is required to register pursuant to this
section, the department shall, within 60 days of receipt of those
documents, notify the person that he or she is relieved of the duty
to register, and shall notify the local law enforcement agency with
which the person is registered that he or she has been relieved of
the duty to register. The local law enforcement agency shall remove
the person's registration from its files within 30 days of receipt of
notification. If the documentary or other evidence submitted is
insufficient to establish the person's claim, the department shall,
within 60 days of receipt of those documents, notify the person that
his or her claim cannot be established, and that the person shall
continue to register pursuant to this section. The department shall
provide, upon the person's request, any information relied upon by
the department in making its determination that the person shall
continue to register pursuant to this section. Any person whose claim
has been denied by the department pursuant to this clause may
petition the court to appeal the department's denial of the person's
claim.
(ii) On or before July 1, 1998, the department shall make a report
to the Legislature concerning the status of persons who may come
under the provisions of this subparagraph, including the number of
persons who were convicted before January 1, 1976, under subdivision
(a) of Section 286 or Section 288a and are required to register under
this section, the average age of these persons, the number of these
persons who have any subsequent convictions for a registerable sex
offense, and the number of these persons who have sought successfully
or unsuccessfully to be relieved of their duty to register under
this section.
(b) (1) Any person who is released, discharged, or paroled from a
jail, state or federal prison, school, road camp, or other
institution where he or she was confined because of the commission or
attempted commission of one of the offenses specified in subdivision
(a) or is released from a state hospital to which he or she was
committed as a mentally disordered sex offender under Article 1
(commencing with Section 6300) of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of Division 6
of the Welfare and Institutions Code, shall, prior to discharge,
parole, or release, be informed of his or her duty to register under
this section by the official in charge of the place of confinement or
hospital, and the official shall require the person to read and sign
any form that may be required by the Department of Justice, stating
that the duty of the person to register under this section has been
explained to the person. The official in charge of the place of
