Crimes: sex offender registration: notice of duty to register.

Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires a person convicted of specified sex offenses to register with local law enforcement authorities and update that registration, as specified. Existing law requires that a person who is required to register be informed of his or her duty to register prior to his or her release, discharge, or parole from confinement in specified institutions, when he or she is released on probation, or when he or she is granted conditional release without supervised probation, or discharged upon payment of a fine. This bill would require that the person be informed of his or her duty to register only if the release, discharge, or parole, as applicable, is related to a sentence imposed as the result of a conviction for an offense for which the person is required to register under the act, as specified.
