What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, 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. A registrant must also periodically provide updated information to DOC if the information originally provided to the registry changes.
This bill generally prohibits a registrant from being in any school building, on any school grounds, school recreation area, or school athletic field, or on any school property owned, used, or operated for school administration unless the registrant notifies the school.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to result if the bill is enacted.
