AB 884, as introduced, Bonilla. County Board of Parole Commissioners: parole terms.
Existing law establishes a board of parole commissioners in each county, and requires the board to consider applications for parole from locally incarcerated inmates. Existing law allows a county board to release a prisoner on parole for a term not to exceed 2 years, with supervision and under conditions as may seem fit and proper for the prisoner’s rehabilitation.
This bill would instead allow a county board to release a prisoner on parole for a term not to exceed 4 years.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
