Summary

Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to provide written notice at least 30 days before it meets to review or consider the parole suitability of any inmate sentenced to a life sentence to the judge of the superior court before whom the inmate was tried and convicted, the attorney who represented the defendant at trial, the district attorney of the county in which the offense was committed, and the law enforcement agency that investigated the case. If the inmate was convicted of the murder of a peace officer, existing law also requires notice to be provided to the law enforcement agency that employed the peace officer. This bill would, in the case of an inmate who was convicted of the murder of a firefighter, require the board or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide notice of the parole suitability hearing to the fire department that employed the firefighter, if that fire department registers with the board to receive that notification and provides the appropriate contact information.
