Bill > SB759

This bill makes several changes to California's laws regarding supervised release and postrelease community supervision. The bill requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide local law enforcement agencies with copies of an inmate's prior supervision records when they are released. It mandates that county agencies provide the department with all supervision records upon request. The bill also introduces a new requirement that if a person on postrelease community supervision violates their release terms for a third time and commits a new felony or misdemeanor, the county agency must petition the court to revoke, modify, or terminate their supervision. Additionally, the bill allows peace officers to arrest without a warrant someone who fails to appear at a hearing related to their postrelease community supervision. The probation department must now notify the court, public defender, district attorney, and sheriff each time flash incarceration (a short-term detention of 1-10 days) is imposed. While these changes impose new administrative duties on county agencies, the bill specifies that no additional state reimbursement is required. The overall goal appears to be improving tracking, accountability, and enforcement of postrelease community supervision.
