offenders.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 326, as introduced, Beall. Sex offenders.
   Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for any person who is required
to register as a sex offender to come into any school building or
upon any school ground without lawful business and written permission
from the chief administrative official of the school.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision.
