The California Assembly has voted in support of Assembly Bill (AB) 1568 on May 26. If that bill becomes law, many registrants who are otherwise eligible to petition for removal from the registry could be blocked from doing so.
AB 1568 will next be considered by the California Senate in what could be a three-step process. First, the bill will be considered by the Senate Public Committee no later than July 2. If that committee passes the bill, the bill will be sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration no later than August 14. If and only if that committee approves the bill, all members of the Senate will vote on the bill no later than August 31.
“It is disappointing that the Assembly passed AB 1568,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “We must double our efforts to block the bill during its consideration in the Senate.”
Dates for Senate committee meetings will be posted on the ACSOL website as they become available. At that time, ACSOL will identify methods members of the registrant community can use to stop the bill in the Senate.
It’s kind of crazy that so few of y’all are reacting to this.
Dang, these new progressive democrats are not our friends. This is not the democrat party of old. They are as bad as the republicans. Hopefully Scott Wiener will get in the senate. Thank goodness we had Governor Brown, he was the last of the old school democrats. Time for a change. They have forgotten about the people.
I’m reading in the summary of this bill that completion of treatment is required to get off the registry. That’s crazy because the government approved treatment places really don’t want to let anyone “complete” treatment.
My treatment provider refused to give me proof of completing the treatment.
