AB 2477

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law, subject to exceptions, prohibits a person required to register as a sex offender from removing or disabling an electronic monitoring device, or permitting another to do so, if the device is a condition of parole. A violation of these provisions requires the parole authority to revoke the person's parole and to require incarceration of the person in a county jail for 180 days. This bill would extend these provisions to a person convicted of a violent felony who is released on parole from the state prison. By increasing the incarceration duties of local jail facilities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
