Summary

Existing law establishes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to oversee the state prison system. Existing law requires the department to develop guidance policies relative to the release of veterans who are inmates. Existing law authorizes a veterans service organization to volunteer to serve as a veterans service advocate at a facility that is under the jurisdiction of the department. For each inmate who is a veteran, existing law authorizes an advocate to develop a veterans economic recidivism plan during the 180-day period preceding the inmate's release date. Existing law requires the veterans economic recidivism prevention plan to include specified information, including a plan for how the inmate will access earned veterans' benefits that the inmate may be eligible for upon the inmate's release. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
