Summary

(1) Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon proper application, to issue driver's licenses and identification cards. A violation of the provisions of the Vehicle Code is a crime. Existing law requires a person convicted of certain sex offenses to register with the chief of police or sheriff of the city or county in which the person is residing or located, and with the chief of police of a campus of the University of California, the California State University, or community college if he or she is residing or located upon the campus or in any of its facilities, within 5 working days of coming into a city or county, or changing his or her residence or location. This requirement applies for the rest of the person's life while residing or present in this state. This bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to comply with certain requirements when issuing an original driver's license or identification card, or a renewal of that driver's license or identification card, to a person required to be registered as a sex offender, if the person was adjudicated to be a sexually violent predator or was convicted of a sex offense against a minor. The bill would require the metallic strip of the license or identification card to contain that information. In addition to any other requirement, the bill would require the applicant to provide a current photograph and address verification to the department for the original license, identification card, and each renewal. The bill would require a person who is issued such a driver's license or identification card, or a renewal, to pay an additional fee to cover the actual costs of ensuring that the metallic strip of the license or identification card contains the above-specified information and to carry the license or card at all times when outside his or her residence, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime. (2) 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.
