California reverses decision to bar sex offenders from holding office

California legislators introduced bipartisan bills to prohibit individuals convicted of sex offenses, especially against minors, from running for elected office after a registered sex offender attempted to run for Fresno City Council.

Advocates argue that individuals with serious sex offense convictions should be barred from holding public trust positions to uphold public safety and integrity.
