Summary

Existing law requires persons convicted of specified sex offenses, or attempts to commit those offenses, to register with local law enforcement agencies while residing in the state or while attending school or working in the state. Existing law includes among the specified offenses for which registration is required, the offenses of sodomy, oral copulation, sexual penetration, and contacting or communicating with a minor, when the offender knows or reasonably should know that the person is a minor, with the intent to commit sodomy, oral copulation, or sexual penetration. Existing court decisions invalidated the application of the mandatory registration requirement to persons convicted of certain of these sex offenses. This bill would conform statutory law to those court decisions by deleting from the list of offenses requiring registration, sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration, if in each case the offender participates in the offense with another person who is under 18 years of age or when the offender is over 21 years of age and participates in the offense with another person who is under 16 years of age. The bill would authorize a person who is convicted, on or before January 1, 2015, of sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration, if in each case the offender participates in the offense with another person who is under 18 years of age or when the offender is over 21 years of age and participates in the offense with another person who is under 16 years of age to seek discretionary relief from the registration requirement. The bill would make sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration, if in each case the offender participates in the offense with another person who is under 18 years of age or when the offender is over 21 years of age and participates in the offense with another person who is under 16 years of age subject to provisions authorizing the discretionary imposition of the registration requirement. The bill would make additional conforming changes.
