Summary

Existing law provides that the Board of Parole Hearings or its successor in interest shall be the state's parole authority. Existing law provides that a prisoner who is found to be permanently medically incapacitated, as specified, shall be granted medical parole, if the Board of Parole Hearings determines that the conditions under which the prisoner would be released would not reasonably pose a threat to public safety. Existing law exempts a prisoner sentenced to death, a prisoner sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, and a prisoner who is serving a sentence for which parole is prohibited by initiative statute, from medical parole eligibility. This bill would additionally exempt from medical parole eligibility a prisoner who was convicted of the murder of a peace officer, as provided. This bill would not apply that exemption to a prisoner who committed the underlying offense on or after January 1, 2011, but before January 1, 2014.
