Existing law, as added by Proposition 83 of the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, makes it a crime for a person to contact or communicate with a minor, or attempt to contact or communicate with a minor, when the person knows or reasonably should know that the person being contacted is a minor, with the intent to commit one of a list of specified offenses involving the minor, including kidnapping and rape. This bill would expand the list of specified offenses described above to include human trafficking of the minor. By expanding the definition of a crime, the 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.
