Assembly Bill 630 amends current law regarding the tracking of sex offenders who are unable to provide an address. Under existing regulations, individuals required to register as sex offenders must provide an address, and some are monitored using a global positioning system (GPS) by the Department of Corrections (DOC). The bill introduces a provision that mandates tracking via GPS for registrants who cannot provide an address, ensuring that even those without a fixed residence are monitored.

The bill also modifies the requirements for individuals on parole or extended supervision. It stipulates that if such individuals are unable to provide an address, they must notify the DOC within 24 hours of becoming unable to do so. Additionally, a new section is created that requires the DOC to track individuals who are subject to reporting requirements but not currently tracked, using a passive positioning system if they cannot provide an address. This legislation aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that all sex offenders, regardless of their housing situation, are accounted for and monitored.
