Effective January 1, 2021, SB 384 transitioned California's lifetime sex offender registration schema to a tier-based schema. SB 384 established three tiers of registration for adult registrants for periods of 10 years, 20 years, and lifetime, and two tiers of registration for juvenile registrants for periods of 5 years and 10 years. SB 384 allows the registrant to petition the superior court or juvenile court for termination of their sex offender registration requirement on or after their next birthday following July 1, 2021, following the expiration of their mandated minimum registration period. Based on criteria listed in SB 384, the court will either grant or deny the petition.
Any questions related to a petitioner’s eligibility or the petitioning process should be referred to the Placer County Public Defender's Office or a Private Attorney.
