SB 145 Myths and Facts

California's 2020 Senate Bill 145 aims to eliminate inequality in sex offender registration requirements, fact-checkers report

In September, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 145 into law. The bill prevents young adults engaging in non-vaginal sex with a minor within 10 years of their age from being automatically added to the sex offender registry, and allows a state judge to make that decision instead, PolitiFact explains. The bill was described by Senator Scott Weiner as an "anti-discrimination law" as it protects LGBTQ people from facing automatic registration as sex offenders. Senate Bill 145 does not legalize pedophilia, fact-checkers from The Associated Press, Reuters, PolitiFact and Snopes report.

"Expenses were elevated compared with last quarter, driven by typically-higher first quarter personnel-related expenses," Shewsberry said. "Credit results improved, with lower net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans, and we benefited from lower income tax expense." The bank said that consumer loans declined by $5.7 billion compared to the same quarter last year and commercial and industrial loans - essentially loans made to businesses - were down by $1.6 billion compared to the previous quarter, but were up $16.8 billion against the same quarter last year.
