	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 102, Cohn   Parole: High-risk sex offenders.
   Existing law requires the Department of Corrections to ensure that
all parolees deemed to pose a high risk to the public of committing
a violent sex crime are placed on an intensive and specialized parole
supervision caseload. This provision is repealed as of July 1, 2006.

   This bill would eliminate that repeal date.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 3005 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   3005.  (a) The Department of Corrections, to the maximum extent
practicable and feasible, and subject to legislative appropriation of
necessary funds, shall ensure, by July 1, 2001, that all parolees
under active supervision and deemed to pose a high risk to the public
of committing violent sex crimes shall be placed on an intensive and
specialized parole supervision caseload.
   (b) The Department of Corrections shall develop and, at the
discretion of the director, and subject to an appropriation of the
necessary funds, may implement a plan for the implementation of
relapse prevention treatment programs, and the provision of other
services deemed necessary by the department, in conjunction with
intensive and specialized parole supervision, to reduce the
recidivism of high-risk sex offenders.
