California AB1568 modifies the conditions for sex offenders to petition for removal from the state's sex offender registry.

California AB1568 amends Section 290.5 of the Penal Code to allow certain sex offenders to petition for termination from the sex offender registry under specific conditions. A tier two offender can petition for removal after 10 years if the offense involved a single victim aged 14 to 17 and the offender was under 21 at the time. A tier three offender can petition after 20 years if they have not committed a new sex offense or an offense listed in Section 667.5. The court considers factors like the nature of the offense, the offender's behavior, and risk assessments before deciding.
