Key Takeaways

  • Prohibits placing conditionally released sexually violent predators within a quarter mile of child daycare facilities.
  • Requires coordination between law enforcement and county officials to secure appropriate housing placements.
  • Defines private schools as facilities that filed affidavits with the State Department of Education.
  • Allows courts to impose sanctions on officials who fail to participate in placement planning meetings.

Summary

Assembly Member Alanis proposes expanding residential restrictions for conditionally released sexually violent predators to include child daycare facilities, while also clarifying the definition of private schools under California's existing placement limitations.

The legislation maintains the current quarter-mile placement buffer around K-12 schools for individuals with prior convictions for specified sexual misconduct involving children or those whom courts determine have a history of improper sexual conduct with minors. This restriction would now extend to all licensed child daycare facilities, as defined in the Health and Safety Code. The bill also formally defines private schools as facilities or homes that have filed affidavits with the State Department of Education and provide elementary or high school instruction.

The measure preserves existing procedures requiring placement in the person's county of domicile unless extraordinary circumstances exist. Local law enforcement, county officials, and legal representatives must continue collaborating to secure appropriate housing placements, with courts authorized to conduct status conferences monitoring progress and potentially impose sanctions for non-participation. Stakeholders must provide contact information 60 days before anticipated releases to facilitate placement planning.
