Summary
Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings, upon request, to notify the victim, or next of kin of the victim, of any crime committed by a prisoner, of any hearing to review or consider the parole suitability or the setting of a parole date for that prisoner. Existing law requires that this notice be given by telephone, certified mail, or electronic mail, using the method of communication selected by the requesting party, if that method is available. Existing law also requires the board to send, by certified mail, written notice of the parole hearing to the judge of the superior court before whom a prisoner was tried. This bill would instead require the board to send the notice to the judge of the superior court, and would authorize the board to send the notice to the victim or the victim's next of kin, using United States mail. Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections to collect and maintain available information and data about state and community correctional policies, practices, capacities, and needs, as specified. Existing law also requires the board to develop incentives for units of local government to develop comprehensive regional partnerships whereby adjacent jurisdictions pool grant funds in order to deliver services to a broader target population and maximize the impact of state funds at the local level. This bill would appropriate $5,000,000 from the Recidivism Reduction Fund to the Board of State and Community Corrections for the establishment of a social innovation financing program for counties. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
