In 2017, California enacted Senate Bill 384, which changed 290 registration from mandatory lifetime registration to different tiers based on the person’s criminal record. Beginning January 1, 2021, there are now three tiers of registration for adult offenders:
- Adult Tier 1: 10 year minimum registration period
- Adult Tier 2: 20 year minimum registration period
- Adult Tier 3: Lifetime registration
There are two tiers of registration for juvenile offenders:
- Juvenile Tier 1: 5 year minimum registration period
- Juvenile Tier 2: 10 year minimum registration period
