ACSOL proposes seven changes to the California Sex Offender Management Board

In a presentation this week, ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci proposed seven changes to the California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB), which would involve certain tier placements and petitions for registry removal, and allow registrants to view their profiles posted on the Megan’s Law website.

During the presentation, Bellucci invited CASOMB to join ACSOL and other organizations as an ally to ensure the proposed changes become law.

CASOMB stated it would create a committee to review the proposed changes.

Our Federal Government has asked all states to form a SOMB, but Florida has not seen the need to do so.  To be an effective SOMB, all sides need to be represented.  It should also be an independent agency that uses research  to inform the creation of policy and to evaluate how policies are implemented and their impact.

    Janice was on the Members’ call tonight, and she did a wonderful job of re-explaining the work done and still being done. History is on ACSOL’s side here. They accomplished great things and their achievements speak for themselves.

    Case closed as far as I’m concerned.

      Thanks to our Membership Chair for timely inviting Janice to speak to our Membership about these issues. The discussion helped clear the air and reminded us what hard work this is.

    What’s missing from the ‘just abolish it’ position is that no one seems to have ever laid out any strategy for doing so.

    How does one abolish a registry in one blow?

    Both FAC and ACSOL seem to agree that, you don’t. Instead, you keep fighting in the courts, in the legislature, in the media. Over and over again. That way you will gradually erode the registry scheme (ACSOL) or at least prevent it from worsening (FAC). Even though both orgs take the position that it should be abolished.

    If someone has laid out a credible way to abolish it all at once then I’m all for that.

      How to abolish all at once? Easy. SCOTUS rules that Registries are unconstitutional (for numerous reasons, including, violating ex post facto). All Registry websites are immediately taken down and registrants are no longer required to register. Period.
      Why is that difficult? 🤷🏻‍♂️

      This legislation will create a lucrative opportunity for officers who enjoy pretending to be teenagers seeking sex with adults.
