Summary

Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires persons who have been convicted of specified crimes to register as sex offenders, including persons who have been convicted in any other court, including any state, federal, or military court, of any offense that, if committed or attempted in this state, would have been punishable as one or more specified sex crimes. This bill would instead require registration for any person who has been convicted in any other court, including any state, federal, or military court, of any offense that, based on the elements of the conviction offense or proven or stipulated facts in the record of conviction, as specified, would have been punishable as one or more of the above-referenced specified sex crimes. Existing law provides that any person who would be required to register while residing in the state of conviction for a sex offense committed in that state shall be required to register under the act except that, for offenses similar to specified California offenses, there is no registration requirement unless the out-of-state offense contains all of the elements of the specified California offense. This bill would provide that for the above-referenced offenses, there is no registration requirement unless the out-of-state offense, based on the elements of the conviction offense or proven or stipulated facts in the record of conviction, contains all of the elements of the specified California offense. Existing law provides that any person who is required to register who willfully violates any requirement of the act is guilty of a misdemeanor or a felony, as specified. Because this bill would change the definition of a crime, it 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.
