Sex offenders: sexually violent predators: monitoring information.

Existing law, as amended by Proposition 83 of the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, requires every inmate who has been convicted of any felony violation of a registerable sex offense or an attempt to commit any of specified sex crimes, and who is committed to prison and released on parole, to be monitored by a global positioning system for life. This bill would require the Department of Justice to develop and implement a fully Web-enabled system to provide the public, via an Internet Web site, with monitoring and mapping information showing the actual, physical location in real time of sex offenders who have been declared sexually violent predators, as specified. Proposition 83 permits the Legislature, by a vote of 23 of the membership of each house and in accordance with specified procedures, to amend the provisions of the act. This bill would therefore require a 23 vote.
