Description

Existing law requires a sex offender to register his or her place of residence and prohibits the sex offender from living within a certain distance of schools, playgrounds, daycare centers, and other places where children gather, but does not require notification to be given directly to a long-term care facility or its residents of a sex offender living or working in the county or municipality where the facility is located.

This bill would prohibit a sex offender or violent crime offender from living within a certain distance of a long-term care facility.

This bill would require notification be given to the Department of Public Health of the residency and employment of a sex offender or a violent crime offender and would require the Department of Public Health to notify a long-term care facility and its residents of the intent of a sex offender or violent crime offender to live or work in the county or municipality where the facility is located.

This bill would require a sex offender or violent crime offender to disclose his or her criminal history on an application for admission to or employment by a long-term care facility and would require the facility to notify its residents and the Department of Senior Services of the admittance or employment of a sex offender or violent crime offender.
