This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to return a parolee to prison upon revocation of the parolee's parole, as specified. This bill would require the department to require a parolee to serve a period of revocation on GPS-monitored house arrest in lieu of being returned to prison, if certain conditions are met, as specified. This bill would also make it a felony for a parolee to willfully depart, without authorization, from the designated residence, as specified. Because this bill would create a new crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would also create the Parolee Reentry Fund for the purpose of funding contracts for parolee mentoring and workforce preparation programs to be awarded by the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The bill would appropriate $20,000,000 from the General Fund to this fund annually for these purposes. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
