Sex offenders.

Existing law, subject to exceptions, prohibits a person who is released on parole after having served a term of imprisonment in state prison for any offense for which registration as a sex offender is required from residing in a single family dwelling with another person also required to register as a sex offender. Existing law also prohibits a person for whom registration is required from residing within 2,000 feet of a public or private school, or park where children regularly gather. This bill would provide that a person who has been convicted and adjudicated as a sexually violent predator may only reside in a dwelling or abode that is within 10 miles of a permanent physical police or sheriff station that has jurisdiction over the location and has 24-hour-a-day peace officer staffing on duty and available to respond to calls for service. The bill would also prohibit a person convicted and adjudicated as a sexually violent predator from leasing, renting, or otherwise residing in a dwelling or other abode, and would prohibit a dwelling or other abode from being leased or rented on behalf of a sexually violent predator for purposes of residence by that person, if that dwelling or other abode is occupied or owned in whole or in part by a felon convicted of a serious or violent felony.
