Senator Ricardo Lara, the primary author of the Tiered Registry Bill (SB 695), has pulled that bill from further consideration. The bill had been scheduled to be heard by the Senate Public Safety Committee on April 18. The bill could continue if either co-author Holly Mitchell agrees to serve as the bill’s sole author or a new author is identified.
In order to remain viable, the bill must be heard by the Senate Public Safety Committee during its hearing on April 25.

I know of a few people who stopped supporting Acsol/Carsol after it pushed so hard to pass this very flawed “tiered registry” bill. Some were automatically placed into T3 because of crime, others denoted as T3 solely because of high Static-99 score (even 1st timers), while others were placed into T2 when they already qualify for COR at 10 yrs (and would have to wait 20 yrs with this bill). Point is: This so called tiered registry found a way to screw many of the 290s I met at the meetings (at least those who took the time to study this bill). For those people who were/are very close to being harmed by this tiered registry, it might be near impossible to regain their trust.
