          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.
