SB 922

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law generally requires that all persons released from prison on and after October 1, 2011, after serving a prison term for a felony, be subject to postrelease community supervision provided by the probation department in the county to which the person is being released for a period of 3 years immediately following release. Under existing law, postrelease community supervision does not apply to persons released after serving a term for a serious felony, a violent felony, an offense for which the person was sentenced pursuant to the Three Strikes law, a crime where the person is classified as a high risk sex offender, or a crime where the person is required to undergo treatment by the State Department of State Hospitals because the person has a severe mental disorder, and requires these persons to be subject to parole supervision by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation following release from state prison and the jurisdiction of the court in the county in which the parolee is released or resides. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
