A California bill that would remove a requirement for offenders to register as a sex offender after committing certain sex acts with minors within a 10-year age difference is set to go to Gov. The state senate and assembly both voted to approve the bill on Tuesday despite Republican opposition in the Senate and bipartisan opposition in the assembly. CALIFORNIA PROSECUTOR SAYS LOOTERS 'NEEDS' SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN CHARGED"If signed into law, a 24-year-old could have sexual relations with a 15-year-old child without being required to register as a sex offender," Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove tweeted Tuesday. "This irrational discrimination on the sex offender registry was created when California banned LGBT sex," Wiener said in a statement when a version of the bill passed the state senate in May 2019. "This distinction between vaginal intercourse and other forms of intercourse is a relic of California's discriminatory past, and it's time to bring an end to it."
