Summary

Under existing law, as amended by Proposition 83 of the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, the parole period of any person found to be a sexually violent predator is tolled until that person is found to no longer be a sexually violent predator, as specified. This bill instead would provide that for any person subject to a sexually violent predator proceeding, as specified, an order issued by a judge pursuant to specified provisions, finding that the petition supports a finding of probable cause to believe that the person is likely to engage in sexually violent criminal behavior upon his or her release, shall toll the period of parole of that person, if the person is committed to the State Department of Mental Health as a sexually violent predator, from the date that person is released until a specified court order is entered. The bill would provide that if the person is not committed to the State Department of Mental Health as a sexually violent predator, the tolling of the parole period shall be abrogated and the parole period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of release from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The bill would incorporate changes made by AB 117 of the 2011–12 Regular Session, which has been chaptered but is not yet operative, to become operative if both the bill and AB 117 become operative. Proposition 83 permits the Legislature, by a vote of 23 of the membership of each house and in accordance with specified procedures, to amend the provisions of the act. This bill would therefore require a 23 vote.
