Legal Research Home > California Lawyer > Penal Code > California Penal Code Section 290.85

(a) Every person released on probation or parole who is
required to register as a sex offender, pursuant to Section 290,
shall provide proof of registration to his or her probation officer
or parole agent within six working days of release on probation or
parole.  The six-day period for providing proof of registration may
be extended only upon determination by the probation officer or
parole agent that unusual circumstances exist relating to the
availability of local law enforcement registration capabilities that
preclude the person's ability to meet the deadline.
   (b) Every person released on probation or parole who is required
to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290 shall provide
proof of any  change or update to his or her registration information
to his or her probation officer or parole agent within five working
days for so long as he or she is required to be under the supervision
of a probation officer or parole agent.
   (c) A probation officer or parole agent who supervises an
individual who is required to register as a sex offender pursuant to
Section 290 shall inform that individual of his or her duties under
this section not fewer than six days prior to the date on which proof
of registration or proof of any change or update to registration
information is to be provided to the probation officer or parole
agent.
   (d) For purposes of this section, "proof of registration" means a
photocopy of the actual registration form.  A law enforcement agency
that registers an individual as a sex offender pursuant to Section
290 who is released on probation or parole and is therefore subject
to this section shall provide that individual with proof of his or
her registration free of charge when requested by the registrant to
fulfill the requirements of this section or any other provision of
law.
