CA AB2121

Requires sex offenders on parole to report to their parole officer within one working day of release from custody to have an electronic monitoring device affixed to their person.

Prohibits sex offenders on parole from removing, disabling, rendering inoperable, or knowingly circumventing electronic, GPS, or other monitoring devices, or permitting another person to do so.

Provides exceptions for authorized removal by physicians, emergency medical services personnel, or when removal is authorized or required by court, law enforcement, probation, or parole authorities.

Mandates parole revocation and 180-day county jail incarceration for violations of the monitoring device restrictions, unless the parole authority finds such penalties are not appropriate in the interests of justice for reporting violations only.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies because the bill changes penalties for criminal violations under existing law.
