Bill > AB85

This bill proposes a significant change to how individuals on extended supervision, parole, or probation are treated when they are charged with a new crime. Currently, individuals under supervised release are subject to certain conditions and rules, with potential sanctions for violations. Under this proposed legislation, the Department of Corrections would be required to recommend revoking a person's extended supervision, parole, or probation automatically if that individual is charged with a new criminal offense, regardless of the nature or severity of the charge. This represents a mandatory recommendation for revocation, which differs from the current system where violations may result in potential sanctions but do not automatically trigger release revocation. The bill aims to create a more stringent approach to monitoring and responding to potential criminal behavior among individuals already under correctional supervision, potentially as a means of enhancing public safety and ensuring stricter accountability for those on supervised release.
