Notice:  The California Department of Justice, sheriff's departments, police departments serving jurisdictions of 200,000 or more and many other local law enforcement authorities maintain for public access a data base of the locations of persons required to register pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 290.4 of the Penal Code.  The data base is updated on a quarterly basis and a source of information about the presence of these individuals in any neighborhood.  The Department of Justice also maintains a Sex Offender Identification Line through which inquiries about individuals may be made.  This is a "900" telephone service.  Callers must have specific information about individuals they are checking.  Information regarding neighborhoods is not available through the "900" telephone service.

(b) Subject to subdivision (c), upon delivery of the notice to the lessee or transferee of the real property, the lessor, seller, or broker is not required to provide information in addition to that contained in the notice regarding the proximity of registered sex offenders.  The information in the notice shall be deemed to be adequate to inform the lessee or transferee about the existence of a statewide data base of the locations of registered sex offenders and information from the data base regarding those locations.  The information in the notice shall not give rise to any cause of action against the disclosing party by a registered sex offender.

(c) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), nothing in this section shall alter any existing duty of the lessor, seller, or broker under any other statute or decisional law including, but not limited to, the duties of a lessor, seller, or broker under this article, or the duties a seller or broker under Article 1.5 (commencing with Section 1102) or Chapter 2 of Title 4 of Part 4 of Division 2.
