Juveniles: registration.
- Expands sex offender registration requirements to include juveniles released from secure youth treatment facilities.
- Establishes a two-tier registration system with 5-year and 10-year minimum registration periods based on offense severity.
- Requires facilities to inform juveniles of registration duties before release and transmit information to the Department of Justice.
- Allows juveniles to petition for removal from the registry after completing their mandatory registration period.
Assembly Member Macedo's proposal to expand California's Sex Offender Registration Act would require juveniles discharged from secure youth treatment facilities to register as sex offenders, matching existing requirements for those released from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The legislation establishes a two-tiered registration system based on offense severity. Juveniles convicted of non-serious or non-violent felony sex offenses must register for a minimum of five years, while those convicted of serious or violent felony sex offenses face a minimum 10-year registration period. After completing their mandatory registration term, individuals may petition the juvenile court to terminate their registration requirement.
The bill outlines specific procedures for implementation, requiring facilities to inform juveniles of registration obligations before release and transmit documentation to the Department of Justice. Courts retain authority to establish registration timelines and must notify the Department of Justice of these determinations. While the bill expands registration requirements for local law enforcement agencies, it includes no state funding for implementation costs, citing constitutional provisions regarding changes to crime definitions and penalties.
