Sex offenders: public information.

Existing law provides that with respect to a person who has been convicted of specified sex crimes, the Department of Justice shall make available to the public via the department's Internet Web site certain identifying and criminal history information. Existing law provides a statutory scheme for persons who have been convicted of the commission or attempted commission of specified crimes, including, among others, sexual battery and misdemeanor molesting of a child, and who meet specified conditions to file an application with the department for exclusion from the Internet Web site, as specified. This bill would provide that with respect to those persons whose application for exclusion was granted by the department pursuant to the provisions specified above, if at any time after exclusion, any law enforcement agency notifies the department that, based on facts known to the agency about the offender, the agency believes that public safety may be compromised by the continued exclusion of the offender from public posting on the Internet Web site, the department shall, 30 days after notifying the offender, make information about the offender available to the public on the Internet Web site, as specified.
