           SUBJECT:   Youth offender parole hearings

          DIGEST:   This bill makes technical changes to the provisions  
          governing youth offender parole.


          ANALYSIS:  Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to  
          conduct a youth offender parole hearing for offenders sentenced  
          to state prison who committed specified crimes when they were  
          less than 23 years of age. (Penal Code §3051 and 4801)

          This bill replaces the word juvenile with youth in these  
          sections.
