CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2013–2014 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 992

Introduced by Assembly Member Perea

February 22, 2013

An act to amend Section 290.008 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 992, as introduced, Perea. Sex offender registration: juvenile offenders.
The Sex Offender Registration Act requires every person who has been convicted of any one of specified sex offenses to register with law enforcement, as specified, for the rest of his or her life while residing in this state. This provision applies to any person who is discharged or paroled from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to the custody of which he or she was committed after having been adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court, or from a facility in another state that is equivalent to the Division of Juvenile Justice, to the custody of which he or she was committed because of an offense which, if committed or attempted in this state, would have been punishable as one or more of the offenses for which registration is required in accordance with the Act. Existing law also requires that all records specifically relating to the registration that are in the custody of the Department of Justice, law enforcement agencies, and other agencies or public officials be destroyed when the person who is required to register has his or her records sealed under a specified provision of law.
This bill would require a juvenile sex offender who is placed on probation or parole for committing or attempting to commit specified sex offenses to register in accordance with the Act. The bill would also require a juvenile sex offender who is on probation or parole in another state, transfers to this state for supervision, and was found to have committed or attempted to commit specified sex offenses in the other state, to register in accordance with the Act. By expanding the class of persons who are required to register and to have their records sealed or destroyed, the bill would impose additional duties on local law enforcement employees, thereby imposing 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.
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.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 290.008 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

(2) Any person who, on or after January 1, 2014, has been adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court pursuant to Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code and has been placed on probation for the commission or attempted commission of any offense described in subdivision (c), shall register in accordance with the Act.
