2. “now before the court are four parolees who were paroled after passage of Proposition 83. We thus also have no occasion here to address whether the 2,000-foot residency limit might apply to those who completed their paroles before the effective date of Proposition 83 [citation]; to those whose parole period began before, but is scheduled to terminate after, that date [citation]; or even to the thousands of persons subject to sex offender registration who, for whatever reason, are not currently on parole.”

3. “For purposes of retroactivity analysis, the pivotal `last act or event' [citation] that must occur before the mandatory residency restrictions come into play is the registered sex offender's securing of a residence upon his release from custody on parole. If that `last act or event' occurred subsequent to the effective date of section 3003.5(b), a conclusion that it was a violation of the registrant's parole does not constitute a `retroactive' application of the statute.”
