What is CA AB 2232 about?
Existing law, as amended by Proposition 9, the Victim's Bill of Rights Act of 2008: Marsy's Law, at the November 4, 2008, statewide general election, requires the Board of Parole Hearings, following a decision denying parole, to schedule the next hearing 3, 5, 7, 10, or 15 years from the date of the last hearing, as specified. Existing law also authorizes the board, in its discretion and after considering the views and interests of the victim, to advance a hearing to an earlier date, when a change in circumstances or new information establishes a reasonable likelihood that consideration of the public and victim's safety does not require additional incarceration. Existing law authorizes an inmate to request that the board exercise its discretion to advance a hearing and provides the procedure for an inmate to make that request. This bill would require the board, in coordination with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, to collect and publish annual data regarding requests to advance parole consideration hearing dates and the board's review of those requests, as specified. The bill would require the board to submit the report to the Legislature by March 1, 2027, and annually thereafter. Following submission of the report to the Legislature, the bill would also require the board to make the report publicly available on its internet website on that date and annually thereafter. This bill, for each request to advance a parole consideration hearing date, would require the board to maintain a written summary of the decision, including the basis for approval or denial and the primary factors considered. The bill would require the summaries to be made available to certain entities, including the incarcerated person or their counsel. This bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2032.
Who sponsors CA AB 2232?
