California Legislature—2015–16 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 303

Introduced by Assembly Member Gonzalez

February 12, 2015

An act to amend Section 1203.2 of the Penal Code, relating to supervised persons.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 303, as introduced, Gonzalez. Supervised persons.

Existing law allows a probation officer, parole officer, or peace officer to arrest a person without warrant or other process during the period that a person is released on probation, conditional sentence or summary probation, or mandatory supervision, or when the person is subject to revocation of postrelease community supervision or parole supervision, if the officer has probable cause to believe that the supervised person is violating the terms of his or her supervision. Under existing law, the revocation of supervision, summary or otherwise, serves to toll the running of the period of supervision.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
