	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 583, Hollingsworth. Sex offenders.
   Existing law requires the Department of Justice to make available
to the public via an Internet Web site certain information relating
to certain registered sex offenders, including the address at which
the person resides, as specified.
   This bill would, commencing January 1, 2012, require the
department to record each address at which a registered sex offender
resides with a unique identifier that shall include the nature of the
dwelling, as specified. This bill would also require, commencing
January 1, 2012, the department to maintain those classifications
within the database maintained for sex offender registrations and to
provide that information to other state agencies, including the State
Department of Social Services, when those agencies need the
information for law enforcement purposes relating to investigative
responsibilities relative to sex offenders.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 290.47 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   290.47.  The Department of Justice shall record the address at
which a registered sex offender resides with a unique identifier for
the address. The information for this identifier shall be captured
pursuant to Section 290.015 and the identifier shall consist of a
description of the nature of the dwelling, with the choices of a
single family residence, an apartment/condominium, a motel/hotel, or
a licensed facility. Each address and its association with any
specific registered sex offender shall be stored by the department in
the same database as the registration data recorded pursuant to
Section 290.015. The department shall make that information available
to the State Department of Social Services or any other state agency
when the agency needs the information for law enforcement purposes
relating to investigative responsibilities relative to sex offenders.
This section shall become operative on January 1, 2012.
