AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing law concerning the Sex Offender Registry Board, which is the state agency responsible for maintaining a list of convicted sex offenders. The key provision is that the Board must classify convicted sex offenders and make decisions on any appeals they file *before* the offenders are released from their sentences. This ensures that offenders are aware of their classification and have a meaningful opportunity to appeal it while still incarcerated, rather than after they have already been released.
