          BILL SUMMARY: SB 583 requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to  
          record each address at which a registered sex offender resides  
          with a unique identifier, as specified, 
          and to store the information in the same database as the  
          registration data. This bill requires DOJ to make that  
          information available to state agencies when the receiving  
          agency needs it for law enforcement purposes related to  
          investigative responsibilities. The provisions must be  
          implemented by January 1, 2012.

          STAFF COMMENTS: This bill meets the criteria for referral to the  
          Suspense File.

          This bill requires DOJ to maintain in its sex offender  
          registration database a record of each address at which a sex  
          offender resides. Each address is required to have a unique  
          identifier, consisting of a description of the nature of the  
          dwelling (e.g. single family home, apartment, motel). 

          DOJ estimates that it will cost the department $180,000 to  
          record the newly-required data in the database with unique  
          identifiers (which it does not currently use for addresses).  
          This start up cost is specifically for consultants to make  










          enhancements to the Criminal Processor and Global Transaction  
          controller to recognize new data and to update the California  
          Sex and Arson Registry, overtime costs, and ISB storage to store  
          the additional data. DOJ estimates an expense of $15,000  
          annually to maintain the information.
