The author of CA Assembly Bill 1568, Assemblymember Juan Alanis has withdrawn that bill from future consideration.  As a result, the bill will not be heard on June 16 by the Senate Public Safety Committee and cannot move forward this year.  

“The registrant community and its allies have stopped Assembly 1568,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci.  “This is a significant victory.  ACSOL thanks everyone who made calls as well as sent emails and letters to the state senate in opposition to this bill.”

Another factor that may have led to the withdrawal of this bill is an analysis issued by the Senate Public Safety Committee on June 14.  According to that analysis, “the bill appears to address a problem that may not exist.”

The analysis includes a discussion of several concerns about the bill starting on page 13 of 14.  The concerns include the fact that many people convicted out of state and in military courts would be blocked from petitioning for removal from the registry even though they were otherwise eligible.

According to the committee analysis, the bill was supported by many law enforcement agencies as well as the California District Attorneys Association.  The number of bill opponents was significantly smaller.

Thanks to those who took action! You make a difference!
