ACSOL will conduct Lobby Day on Tuesday, February 11, in Sacramento. The day will begin with training at 9 a.m. at a “new” address, 500 Capitol Mall, and will end about 5 p.m. All participants are invited to attend a group dinner, funded by ACSOL, following at 5:30 p.m.
“The primary focus of this year’s Lobby Day will be proposed changes to the Tiered Registry Law,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “There is a lack of logic and reason to the assignment of individuals convicted of non-contact, non-violent offenses to Tier 3, the highest tier, which requires lifetime registration.”
Lobby Day will include meetings in the offices of all members of the Public Safety Committees in both the Assembly and the Senate as well as members elected to those bodies last year. Individuals who participate in Lobby Day will be assigned to a team led by an individual who has participated in past lobbying efforts. ACSOL will provide team members with a folder of information, including talking points.
“It is important for us to both thank state legislators for passage of a Tiered Registry Law as well as to identify necessary improvements to that law,” stated ACSOL President Chance Oberstein. “We look forward to the participation of individuals required to register as well as their families and those who support them professionally.”

I am thankful for this work but I am troubled to read this as the appearance is that you will only be lobbying for the reduction of CP offenses to non tier 3. What about the rest of us with non-violent type offenses? What about also planting the seeds to start to attempt to remove the registry all together, while still advocating for small changes? Will the speaking points include education to the officials about all the detrimental effects of the registry on not only RSOs and their families, plus how ineffective it is as a whole?
I guess I want to see more steps taken forward to get rid of the whole thing rather than just asking for CP offenses not to be lifetime registration.
Where can we find more info on the proposed changes including what types of convictions would potentially now be tier 3?
Lobby to put back the Megan’s Law exclusion for misdemeanor offenses!
I think I will be able to come down this time, It appears, I will have those days off from work.
Is there some better way to combat cp than more punishment? If so, we ought to frame our argument so. I think from their point of view, simply saying it’s not that bad of an offense is not going to make much of an impression.
Does anyone have a 288(c) and the difference in age was greater than 10 years?
It appears to be a Tier 3 but I am not positive.
Just curious
@ Mr. D I pray you are right, and mine was reduced Hopefully this will fly.
Where do we sign up? Or we just arrive?!!
