*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 1156 would apply numerous sentencing statutes and
rules applicable to state prison sentences to felony sentences
imposed under criminal justice realignment (2011 Realignment
Act), as specified.
Fiscal
Impact:
Minor one-time costs (General Fund*) to the Judicial Council
to adopt rules of court.
Minor to moderate ongoing local costs, potentially in excess
of $50,000 to $100,000 (General Fund**) statewide for local
law enforcement agencies to provide written notification to
persons released or discharged from mandatory supervision or
PRCS of the eligibility and procedures for a certificate of
rehabilitation and pardon. Workload to provide notification
would vary by county and be dependent on the method of

implementation of the mandate. To the extent the increased
costs to local agencies are not considered realigned "public
safety services" under 2011 Realignment, local agencies could
potentially claim reimbursement for these state-mandated
costs.
Potential net cost savings (Local Fund/General Fund**) to the
counties for other activities authorized and prescribed.
Potential cost savings will be realized to the extent county
jails terms are reduced under the resentencing, compassionate
release, and credit earning provisions of this measure.
*Trial Court Trust Fund
**Proposition 30
Committee
Amendments:
Delete the provisions authorizing the Judicial Council
to adopt rules providing criteria for the consideration of
the trial judge at the time of sentencing regarding the
court's decision to determine the county or jurisdictional
territory of incarceration when the court is imposing a
sentence pursuant to Penal Code § 1170(h) concurrent or
consecutive to a sentence previously imposed pursuant to
Penal Code § 1170(h) in another county or jurisdictional
territory.
Make a technical change.
