This bill died with 2011-2012 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This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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 board of supervisors of any county to authorize the correctional administrator, as defined, to offer a program under which only inmates being held in lieu of bail in a county jail or other county correctional facility may participate in an electronic monitoring program if the inmate is not the subject of a hold or an outstanding warrant and any one of certain conditions are met. This bill would authorize a defendant arrested without a warrant for a bailable offense that is a felony punishable in a county jail to apply for release on a reduced bail if the defendant agrees to be placed in an electronic monitoring program administered by the county-authorized correctional administrator. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
