Bill > AB1210

This bill modifies existing law regarding postrelease community supervision (PRCS) by expanding notification requirements for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation when releasing individuals from prison. Specifically, the bill requires the department to provide written and verbal notification to county probation departments about a person's release at least 165 days in advance, or within 5 business days if the discharge date is set less than 165 days out. The bill also mandates that the department notify the county probation department of the names and contact information for prerelease, postrelease, and enhanced care managers to help integrate California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) processes with local reentry services. Additionally, if a county probation department identifies that an individual's current residence might differ from their last legal residence, the department must coordinate with the probation department to determine the appropriate county of residence and develop a coordinated release and transport plan. Because the bill increases administrative duties for county probation departments, it is considered a state-mandated local program, which means the state would be required to reimburse local agencies for any additional costs incurred in implementing these new requirements.
