Sex Offender Registry Removal – 290 Terminations in California
If you are required to register as a sex offender under California Penal Code 290, you know how it can impact your employment, housing, reputation, and quality of life. Fortunately, California law allows certain individuals to petition for removal from the sex offender registry after a set period. At Eric D. Davis, Attorney at Law, APC, we help clients navigate the complex legal process of 290 terminations, giving them a chance at a fresh start.

What Is a 290 Termination?
A 290 termination refers to removal from California’s sex offender registry. Under Senate Bill 384 (SB 384), California implemented a tier-based system, allowing individuals in lower tiers to petition for removal from the registry after a designated timeframe.
California’s Three-Tiered Sex Offender Registration System
- Tier 1 – 10 years of registration for low-level sex offenses.
- Tier 2 – 20 years of registration for mid-level sex offenses.
- Tier 3 – Lifetime registration for high-risk and serious sex crimes (not eligible for removal).
