Existing law establishes the California Sex Offender Management Board to, among other things, certify sex offender management professionals. Existing law establishes a State-Authorized Risk Assessment Tool for Sex Offenders (SARATSO) and requires every registered sex offender to be assessed with the SARATSO, as specified. Existing law requires a sex offender management professional to provide a person's score on the SARATSO to that person's parole agent or probation officer. Existing law also requires the person's parole agent or probation officer to send the person's SARATSO score to the Department of Justice within 5 working days of the assessment.
This bill would, instead, require the sex offender management professional to send the person's SARATSO score to the Department of Justice within 30 days of the assessment, as specified.
