REGISTRATION OF ASSAULT GUN OFFENDERS The proposed legislation would create a Registration Unit under the Department of Justice for everyone convicted of assault gun offenses. It would require specified offenders to register with the law enforcement authorities of the city, county, or city and county in which the offender resides or is temporarily domiciled, within 30 days after coming into that jurisdiction. It would also specify that the registration requirements shall terminate five years after whichever of the following events occurs first: 1) the discharge from prison of the person convicted; 2) the release from jail of the person convicted; or 3) the termination of probation or parole of the person convicted. This proposal is similar to the controlled substance registration requirements (see below). MULTIBURST ACTIVATOR BAN The multiburst trigger activator is a device that can be attached to the trigger of a semiautomatic firearm which allows the firearm to discharge two or more shots in a burst by activating the device. This device allows a semi-automatic weapon to fire more rapidly, similar to a fully automatic weapon. It will be proposed that these trigger activators be made illegal. AB 134 - REGISTRATION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE OFFENDERS Current law requires a person convicted of specified controlled substance offenses to register with the law enforcement authority of the city or county in which he or she resides within 30 days after moving into the jurisdiction. Existing law provides that a knowing violation of any of these registration requirements is a misdemeanor. There are currently 17 drug offenses that require registration. These include felonies such as possession of heroin, sale of cocaine or heroin, and the cultivation of marijuana; wobblers such as possession of concentrated cannabis, possession of cocaine and forging a prescription; or a misdemeanor such as being under the influence of a narcotic. The following will be added to the list of reportable offenses: - unlawfully engaging in. such acts as renting or leasing a building for the unlawful manufacture of controlled substances; - utilizing a building designed to suppress law enforcement entry in order to sell, manufacture, or possess for sale controlled substances;
