What AB 22 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to amend various laws related to crimes in California. It would repeal an exemption for certain sex offenders who committed offenses involving minors, requiring them to register as sex offenders. Additionally, the bill would repeal changes made by Proposition 57, which affected the transfer of minors from juvenile to adult court. The bill also makes changes to the definition and treatment of sexually violent predators, including requiring the state to consider public safety when placing them in housing and prohibiting placement near schools or tribal land. Furthermore, the bill requires the secretary of state to submit provisions related to the bill to the electors for their approval at the next statewide primary election.
