Summary

Existing law authorizes specified individuals, including the judge, district attorney, and probation officer, after judgment has been pronounced in a criminal case, to file with the clerk of the court specified statements and reports regarding the person convicted. Existing law requires the clerk to mail these documents, along with charging documents, a copy of waiver and plea forms, and other specified documents, to the prison or other institution to which the person convicted is delivered. Existing law also requires the clerk to, among other things, mail a copy of any statement submitted by the attorney for the defendant to the district attorney. This bill would authorize the clerk of the court, with consent of the recipient, to deliver these documents by electronic means rather than by mail. The bill would additionally require the clerk, upon written request by a person convicted or by that person's counsel, to also mail the documents to the prison or other institution to which the person convicted is delivered.
