I heard it is now 10 years, but it used to be 7 years before amnesty could be granted. Is that true?
If so, when was the change made from 7 to 10 years? (what year)

There was no such change. Sex registration is for life. In some (but not all) cases the registration requirement can be terminated if the registrant gets a certificate of rehabilitation or a pardon (those are the statutes Richard referenced), but nobody is entitled to either form of relief, and even a pardon will not end the registration requirement in some cases.
Penal Code section 290 is the applicable statute, and 290.5 is the statute on terminating the requirement.

I believe it is 10.

Depends on the crime. Some sex offenders have to register for life, some for 7 years, some for 10.
