Summary

Under existing law, in every case where a person is convicted of a crime and whose sentence includes parole, the court is required to assess a parole revocation fine, as specified, for deposit into the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury. This bill would require a person who is subject to postrelease community supervision or mandatory supervision, who violates the terms of his or her postrelease community supervision or mandatory supervision, and who is incarcerated in a county jail for that violation, to pay a fine, for deposit into the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury, a continuously appropriated fund. Because the bill creates a new source of revenue for deposit into the restitution fund, the bill would make an appropriation. Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to deduct and retain certain funds from the wages, trust account deposits, or settlement or trial awards of a prisoner for the payment of certain fees and fines, including restitution orders, restitution fines, and specified administrative fees, and also authorizes the department to collect funds from a parolee for the payment of restitution orders and fines, unless prohibited by federal law. Under existing law, these funds are required to be deposited in the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury. This bill would specify that, when a prisoner is punished by imprisonment in a county jail, an agency designated by the county board of supervisors is required to deduct and retain those funds, and would also authorize that agency to collect funds from a parolee. The bill would require these agencies to transfer these funds for deposit in the Restitution Fund. By imposing additional requirements on counties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
