The CA Assembly Appropriations Committee will review Senate Bill 680 on August 20. The review of this bill will be part of a marathon session that includes consideration of more than 200 bills. No testimony will be heard during this session that begins at 9 a.m. in Room 1100 of the legislative office building (1021 O Street).
If Senate Bill 680 is enacted into law, a new group of individuals would be required to register. That group would include people convicted of Penal Code Section 261.5, unlawful intercourse (previously known as statutory rape), on or after January 1, 2026.
“The Appropriations Committee will decided on August 20 whether to keep Senate Bill 680 in its suspense file,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “If the Committee keeps that bill in its suspense file, the bill will be dead.”
However, if the Appropriations Committee releases Senate Bill 680 from its suspense file, the bill would next be considered by all members of the Assembly. And if the full Assembly passes Senate Bill 680, a conference would be required because the Assembly and Senate would have approved different versions of the bill. The major difference in those bills is that Senate bill requires retroactive application while the Assembly bill does not.
