Existing law requires a person convicted of any of certain specified sexual offenses to register with local law enforcement for the rest of his or her life while residing, located, attending school, or working in California, as specified.
This bill would require any state or local governmental agency, upon written request, to provide to the Department of Justice the address of any person represented by the department to be a person who is in violation of his or her duty to register under these provisions.
Because this bill would require local agencies to perform new duties, 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, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
