AB 933

Under current law, a person must register with the Department of Corrections

(DOC) as a sex offender if he or she has been convicted of certain sex offenses, found

not guilty of certain sex offenses by reason of mental disease or defect, or adjudicated

delinquent on the basis of certain sex offenses. The sex offender registry contains

specific information about a person required to register (registrant), such as the

registrant's name, appearance, offense, address, and place of employment and any

school in which the registrant is enrolled. When a registrant is released DOC or the

Department of Health Services (DHS), whichever agency has authority over the

registrant, may notify the police chief of the community, and the sheriff of the county,

in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending school if the person

has been convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental defect or disease, of a sex

offense only one time and must notify the police chief of the community, and the

sheriff of the county, in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending

school or through which the registrant will be traveling if the person has been

convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, of a sex offense

or if the person has been found to be a sexually violent person. The notification must

include the registrant's residential address. This bill requires DOC or DHS, if the

agency provided notice, to notify the same persons if the registrant moves.
