 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Assembly Bill

No. 1437

Introduced by Assembly Member Macedo

February 21, 2025

 An act to amend Section 290.008 of the Penal Code, relating to juveniles. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1437, as introduced, Macedo.
 Juveniles: registration.

Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires a person convicted of specified sex offenses, including a person who is discharged or paroled from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation after having been adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court because of the commission of specified sex offenses, to register with local law enforcement agencies while residing in the state or while attending school or working in the state. Existing law makes it a crime for a person required to register as a sex offender under the act to willfully violate any requirement of the act. 

This bill would additionally require a person who is discharged or paroled from a secure youth treatment facility to register. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill 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.
