Summary

Existing law makes it unlawful for a person who is required to register as a sex offender to reside within 2,000 feet of a public or private school, or park where children regularly gather. Existing law also provides that any person required to register as a sex offender who comes into any school building or upon any school ground without lawful business and written permission is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would make it a misdemeanor for certain high-risk sex offenders, except in limited instances, to be physically present and delay, linger, or idle about within 100 feet of a sensitive use site, as defined. For purposes of those provisions, a sensitive use site would include specified places where children gather, including bus stops, child care centers, sports centers, and schools. By creating a new crime, the 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. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
