The Senate Public Safety Committee will consider Assembly Bill 514 during a hearing on June 26. If passed, the bill would prohibit some people convicted of a sex offense involving a minor age from living within 1,000 feet from a day care center or a family day care home. The bill is the result of significant changes to a previous bill focused on medical waste that was introduced by Assemblyman Rudy Salas, a Democrat from Bakersfield.
“This bill would not achieve its stated purpose of increasing public safety,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “Instead, the bill would reduce public safety by significantly increasing the number of homeless registrants.”
The bill is also inconsistent with the findings of both the California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) and academic research. CASOMB concluded in a recent report that restricting where a registrant may live is “likely to have the unintended effect of increasing the likelihood of sexual re-offense.” A recent report issued by Dr. Jill S. Levenson determined that limitations on where a registrant may live often hinder that person’s ability to successfully reintegrate into society.
“We urge registrants, their loved ones and others who support them to call the Senate Public Safety Committee to voice their opposition to this unfortunate bill as soon as possible,” stated ACSOL President Chance Oberstein. The Committee can be reached by phone at (916) 651-4118.
The Senate Public Safety Committee hearing on June 26 is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. in Room 3191 of the State Capitol.
AB 514 – Letter to Sen Public Safety – June 2018
Also, can any person just cite the AGs statement in that brief to quash any attempts to apply Jessica’s law provisions in any sections to non parolees? That is where the section at issue is placed still.
I think that I can reassert my claim against Jessica’s Law since I only conceded because the AG stated it does not apply to me since I am not on parole and because the state has not applied to any non-parolees at that time. That was very stupid on my part as I should have let it play out.
I rememeber about a year ago or close to some BIG politician (cant recall who) in or near LA got a BOX full of dog shit delivered (not usps) to his FRONT GATE…. funny thing is was the police said it was NOT ILLEGAL.. maybe same thing neeeds to be done to this lame politician !… ROAD TRIP anyone ? since it isnt illegal its a good idea !!!!! Think about it ! If this gets done more often they will fear writing lame laws !!!

I called all the numbers. The ones who answered only asked for name and zip code. Not sure where I’ll be in the am, because 1437 is also being heard but I’m not sure which committee. Gotta find out.
So, 1437 is being heard in the Assembly p&s committee. Anybody know that room number?
I called and they told me they are getting a lot of calls today.
Any news yet?? Was 514 voted down? (I think it was the 3rd Bill listed on the agenda.)
I’m with David. Any updates at all??? I’ve searched EVERYWHERE online and there is zero information regarding the outcome. I’m sure it has been voted on by now, right?? Thanks!
Any news??
