AI-generated summary, admin reviewed:
This vote proposed significantly tougher rules for sex offenders in California. The measure increased prison and parole terms for some serious and repeat sex offences, expanded the offences that could result in life imprisonment, restricted probation for some offences, and removed early-release credits for certain repeat offenders.
It also required many felony sex offenders released from prison to be monitored by GPS during parole and, for qualifying registered offenders, for the rest of their lives. Registered sex offenders were generally prohibited from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park. The measure also made it easier for some sexually violent offenders to be committed to secure state mental health facilities after completing their prison sentences.
Supporters argued that dangerous and repeat sex offenders should spend longer in prison and remain closely monitored after release to protect children and the public.
Opponents argued that some provisions were too broad, could also affect lower-risk offenders, would be extremely expensive, and that blanket residency restrictions and lifetime monitoring would not necessarily improve public safety.
California voters approved the proposal on 7 November 2006 by 5,926,800 votes to 2,483,597.
