	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2188, as introduced, Grove. Sex offenders.
   Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, last amended by
Proposition 35, as approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012,
statewide general election, requires a person convicted of certain
crimes, as specified, to register with law enforcement as a sex
offender for the rest of his or her life while residing in California
or while attending school or working in California, as specified. A
willful failure to register, as required by the act, is a
misdemeanor, or felony, depending on the underlying offense.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
