INTRODUCED BY   Senator Nielsen

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Sections 3000, 3000.08, 3044, and 3451 of, and to
add Sections 3064.5 and 3069.7 to, the Penal Code, relating to
parole.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 710, as introduced, Nielsen. Parole.
   (1) Existing law requires that all persons released from prison on
and after October 1, 2011, after serving a prison term for a felony,
be subject to postrelease community supervision provided by a county
agency for a period of 3 years immediately following release, except
for persons released after serving a term for a serious felony, a
violent felony, an offense for which the person was sentenced
pursuant to the three strikes law, a crime where the person is
classified as a high risk sex offender, or a crime where the person
is required to undergo treatment by the State Department of State
Hospitals because the person has a severe mental disorder. Existing
law requires these persons to be subject to parole supervision by the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation following release from
state prison.
   This bill would require all offenders released from prison on and
after January 1, 2014, to be subject to parole supervision by the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Board of Parole
Hearings for a minimum period of 3 years. The bill would require the
board to have exclusive jurisdiction over the supervision and
revocation of parole of all inmates upon their release from prison.
For crimes committed on or after January 1, 2014, the bill would set
the period of parole not to exceed 5 years and not less than 3 years
in the case of an inmate imprisoned for any offense other than first
or 2nd degree murder for which the inmate has received a life
sentence, and would set a parole period not to exceed 4 years and not
less than 3 years in the case of any other inmate. The bill would
prohibit a person from being discharged from parole without first
completing 12 consecutive months of supervision without a parole
violation or arrest on new criminal charges, and would provide that
no person may be discharged from parole while incarcerated or if his
or her whereabouts are unknown. The bill would make the provisions on
postrelease supervision applicable only to persons released from
prison prior to January 1, 2014. The bill would make conforming
changes.
   The bill would require the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to develop a minimum of 3 parole violator adjustment
and rehabilitation facilities. The bill would require that parolees
who violate the conditions of parole shall be sentenced to up to one
year in a facility. For violations that are drug related, but do not
involve an offense that could be charged as a violent or serious
crime or that would require registration as a sex offender, the bill
would require the violation to be served in a facility for at least 6
months. All other parole violations would result in the parolee
serving the rest of his or her term in the facility on revoked
status. The bill would require a treatment and programming plan to be
developed for each parole violator.
   (2) Existing law, the Victims' Bill of Rights Act of 2008: Marsy's
Law, as added by Proposition 9 at the November 4, 2008, statewide
general election, provides that the Board of Parole Hearings or its
successor in interest shall be the state's parole authority and shall
be responsible for protecting victims' rights in the parole process.
Existing law requires the board to enjoy sufficient autonomy to
conduct unbiased hearings and maintain an independent legal and
administrative staff. Proposition 9 provides that the Legislature may
amend its provisions by a majority vote to expand the scope of their
application, to recognize additional rights of victims of crime, or
to further the rights of victims of crime.
   This bill would also require the board to enjoy sufficient
autonomy to protect the rights of crime victims.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 3000 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   3000.  (a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that the period
immediately following incarceration is critical to successful
reintegration of the offender into society and to positive
citizenship. It is in the interest of public safety for the state to
provide for the effective supervision of and surveillance of
parolees, including the judicious use of revocation actions, and to
provide educational, vocational, family and personal counseling
necessary to assist parolees in the transition between imprisonment
and discharge. A sentence resulting in imprisonment in the state
prison pursuant to Section 1168 or 1170 shall include a period of
parole supervision or postrelease community supervision, unless
waived, or as otherwise provided in this article.
   (2) The Legislature finds and declares that it is not the intent
of this section to diminish resources allocated to the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation for parole functions for which the
department is responsible. It is also not the intent of this section
to diminish the resources allocated to the Board of Parole Hearings
to execute its duties with respect to parole functions for which the
board is responsible.
   (3) The Legislature finds and declares that diligent effort must
be made to ensure that parolees are held accountable for their
criminal behavior, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of
restitution fines and orders.
   (4) For any person subject to a sexually violent predator
proceeding pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 6600) of
Chapter 2 of Part 2 of Division 6 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code, an order issued by a judge pursuant to Section 6601.5 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code, finding that the petition, on its
face, supports a finding of probable cause to believe that the
individual named in the petition is likely to engage in sexually
violent predatory criminal behavior upon his or her release, shall
toll the period of parole of that person, from the date that person
is released by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation as
follows:
   (A) If the person is committed to the State Department of Mental
Health as a sexually violent predator and subsequently a court orders
that the person be unconditionally discharged, the parole period
shall be tolled until the date the judge enters the order
unconditionally discharging that person.
   (B) If the person is not committed to the State Department of
Mental Health as a sexually violent predator, the tolling of the
parole period shall be abrogated and the parole period shall be
deemed to have commenced on the date of release from the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
   (5) Paragraph (4) applies to persons released by the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation on or after January 1, 2012. Persons
released by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation prior to
January 1, 2012, shall continue to be subject to the law governing
the tolling of parole in effect on December 31, 2011.
   (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Article 3
(commencing with Section 3040) of this chapter, the following shall
apply to any inmate subject to Section 3000.08:
   (1)  (A)    In the case of any inmate sentenced
under Section 1168 for a crime committed prior to July 1, 2013, the
period of parole shall not exceed five years in the case of an inmate
imprisoned for any offense other than first or second degree murder
for which the inmate has received a life sentence, and shall not
exceed three years in the case of any other inmate, unless in either
case the Board of Parole Hearings for good cause waives parole and
discharges the inmate from custody of the department. This
subdivision shall also be applicable to inmates who committed crimes
prior to July 1, 1977, to the extent specified in Section 1170.2. In
the case of any inmate sentenced under Section 1168 for a crime
committed on or after July 1, 2013, the period of parole shall not
exceed five years in the case of an inmate imprisoned for any offense
other than first or second degree murder for which the inmate has
received a life sentence, and shall not exceed three years in the
case of any other inmate, unless in either case the department for
good cause waives parole and discharges the inmate from custody of
the department. 
   (B) In the case of any inmate sentenced under Section 1168 for a
crime committed on or after January 1, 2014, the period of parole,

provided in Section 3064.5, shall not exceed four years, or be less
than three years, in the case of any other inmate. 
   (2) (A)  (i)    For a crime committed prior to
July 1, 2013, at the expiration of a term of imprisonment of one year
and one day, or a term of imprisonment imposed pursuant to Section
1170 or at the expiration of a term reduced pursuant to Section 2931
or 2933, if applicable, the inmate shall be released on parole for a
period not exceeding three years, except that any inmate sentenced
for an offense specified in paragraph (3), (4), (5), (6), (11), or
(18) of subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 shall be released on parole
for a period not exceeding 10 years, unless a longer period of parole
is specified in Section 3000.1. 
   (ii) Except as provided in Section 3064.5, for a crime committed
on or after January 1, 2014, at the expiration of a term of
imprisonment of one year and one day, or a term of imprisonment
imposed pursuant to Section 1170 or at the expiration of a term
reduced pursuant to Section 2931 or 2933, if applicable, the inmate

not less than three years, except that any inmate sentenced for an
offense specified in paragraph (3), (4), (5), (6), (11), or (18) of

   (B) For a crime committed on or after July 1, 2013  , and
prior to January 1, 2014  , at the expiration of a term of
imprisonment of one year and one day, or a term of imprisonment
imposed pursuant to Section 1170 or at the expiration of a term
reduced pursuant to Section 2931 or 2933, if applicable, the inmate
shall be released on parole for a period of three years, except that
any inmate sentenced for an offense specified in paragraph (3), (4),
(5), (6), (11), or (18) of subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 shall be
released on parole for a period of 10 years, unless a longer period
of parole is specified in Section 3000.1.
   (3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), in the case of any
offense for which the inmate has received a life sentence pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 209, with the intent to commit a
specified sex offense, or Section 667.51, 667.61, or 667.71, the
period of parole shall be 10 years, unless a longer period of parole
is specified in Section 3000.1.
   (4) (A) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, in the
case of a person convicted of and required to register as a sex
offender for the commission of an offense specified in Section 261,
262, 264.1, 286, 288a, paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section
288, Section 288.5, or 289, in which one or more of the victims of
the offense was a child under 14 years of age, the period of parole
shall be 20 years and six months unless the board, for good cause,
determines that the person will be retained on parole. The board
shall make a written record of this determination and transmit a copy
of it to the parolee.
   (B) In the event of a retention on parole, the parolee shall be
entitled to a review by the board each year thereafter.
   (C) There shall be a board hearing consistent with the procedures
set forth in Sections 3041.5 and 3041.7 within 12 months of the date
of any revocation of parole to consider the release of the inmate on
parole, and notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (3) of
subdivision (b) of Section 3041.5, there shall be annual parole
consideration hearings thereafter, unless the person is released or
otherwise ineligible for parole release. The panel or board shall
release the person within one year of the date of the revocation
unless it determines that the circumstances and gravity of the parole
violation are such that consideration of the public safety requires
a more lengthy period of incarceration or unless there is a new
prison commitment following a conviction.
   (D) The provisions of Section 3042 shall not apply to any hearing
held pursuant to this subdivision.
   (5) (A) The Board of Parole Hearings shall consider the request of
any inmate whose commitment offense occurred prior to July 1, 2013
 , or on and after January 1, 2014  , regarding the length
of his or her parole and the conditions thereof.
   (B) For an inmate whose commitment offense occurred on or after
July 1, 2013  , and before January 1, 2014  , except for
those inmates described in Section 3000.1, the department shall
consider the request of the inmate regarding the length of his or her
parole and the conditions thereof. For those inmates described in
Section 3000.1, the Board of Parole Hearings shall consider the
request of the inmate regarding the length of his or her parole and
the conditions thereof.
   (6) Upon successful completion of parole, or at the end of the
maximum statutory period of parole specified for the inmate under
paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4), as the case may be, whichever is
earlier, the inmate shall be discharged from custody. The date of the
maximum statutory period of parole under this subdivision and
paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) shall be computed from the date of
initial parole and shall be a period chronologically determined. Time
during which parole is suspended because the prisoner has absconded
or has been returned to custody as a parole violator shall not be
credited toward any period of parole unless the prisoner is found not
guilty of the parole violation. However, the period of parole is
subject to the following:
   (A) Except as provided in  Section   Sections
 3064  and 3064.5  , in no case may a prisoner subject
to three years on parole be retained under parole supervision or in
custody for a period longer than four years from the date of his or
her initial parole.
   (B) Except as provided in  Section   Sections
 3064  and 3064.5  , in no case may a prisoner subject
to five years on parole be retained under parole supervision or in
custody for a period longer than seven years from the date of his or
her initial parole.
   (C) Except as provided in  Section   Sections
 3064  and 3064.5  , in no case may a prisoner subject
to 10 years on parole be retained under parole supervision or in
custody for a period longer than 15 years from the date of his or her
initial parole.
   (7) The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall meet
with each inmate at least 30 days prior to his or her good time
release date and shall provide, under guidelines specified by the
parole authority or the department, whichever is applicable, the
conditions of parole and the length of parole up to the maximum
period of time provided by law. The inmate has the right to
reconsideration of the length of parole and conditions thereof by the
department or the parole authority, whichever is applicable. The
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or the board may impose
as a condition of parole that a prisoner make payments on the
prisoner's outstanding restitution fines or orders imposed pursuant
to subdivision (a) or (c) of Section 13967 of the Government Code, as
operative prior to September 28, 1994, or subdivision (b) or (f) of
Section 1202.4.
   (8) For purposes of this chapter, and except as otherwise
described in this section, the board shall be considered the parole
authority.
   (9) (A)  On and after July 1, 2013  , and until January 1,
2014  , the sole authority to issue warrants for the return to
actual custody of any state prisoner released on parole rests with
the court pursuant to Section 1203.2, except for any escaped state
prisoner or any state prisoner released prior to his or her scheduled
release date who should be returned to custody, and Section 5054.1
shall apply.
   (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), any warrant issued by the
Board of Parole Hearings prior to July 1, 2013  , or on and after
January 1, 2014  , shall remain in full force and effect until
the warrant is served or it is recalled by the board. All prisoners
on parole arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the board shall be
subject to a review by the board prior to the department filing a
petition with the court to revoke the parole of the petitioner.
   (10) It is the intent of the Legislature that efforts be made with
respect to persons who are subject to Section 290.011 who are on
parole to engage them in treatment.
  SEC. 2.  Section 3000.08 of the Penal Code, as amended by Section
35 of Chapter 43 of the Statutes of 2012, is amended to read:
   3000.08.  (a) Persons released from state prison prior to 
or on or after July 1, 2013   January 1, 2014  ,
after serving a prison term or, whose sentence has been deemed served
pursuant to Section 2900.5, for any of the following crimes shall be
subject to parole supervision by the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation and the jurisdiction of the court in the county where
the parolee is released or resides for the purpose of hearing
petitions to revoke parole and impose a term of custody:
   (1) A serious felony as described in subdivision (c) of Section
1192.7.
   (2) A violent felony as described in subdivision (c) of Section
667.5.
   (3) A crime for which the person was sentenced pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 667 or paragraph (2) of
subdivision (c) of Section 1170.12.
   (4) Any crime  where   for which the
person eligible for release from prison is classified as a High Risk
Sex Offender.
   (5) Any crime  where   for which  the
person is required, as a condition of parole, to undergo treatment by
the  State  Department of  Mental Health 
 State Hospitals  pursuant to Section 2962. 
   (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all other
offenders released from prison shall be placed on postrelease
supervision pursuant to Title 2.05 (commencing with Section 3450).
 
   (b) Notwithstanding any other law, all offenders released from
prison on or after January 1, 2014, after serving a prison term or
whose sentence has been deemed served pursuant to Section 2900.5
shall be subject to parole supervision by the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Board of Parole Hearings for a
minimum period of three years, which may be extended by up to one
additional year for parole violations. The board shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over the supervision and revocation of parole of all
inmates upon their release from state prison or release from custody
after serving a term of imprisonment in state prison. 
   (c) At any time during the period of parole of a person subject to
this section, if any parole agent or peace officer has probable
cause to believe that the parolee is violating any term or condition
of his or her parole, the agent or officer may, without warrant or
other process and at any time until the final disposition of the
case, arrest the person and bring him or her before the court  or
the board, as applicable  , or the court  or board 
may, in its discretion, issue a warrant for that person's arrest
 pursuant to Section 1203.2  .
   (d) Upon review of the alleged violation and a finding of good
cause that  the  a  parolee  who is
subject to subdivision (a)  has committed a violation of law or
violated his or her conditions of parole, the supervising parole
agency may impose additional and appropriate conditions of
supervision, including rehabilitation and treatment services and
appropriate incentives for compliance, and impose immediate,
structured, and intermediate sanctions for parole violations,
including flash incarceration in a county jail. Periods of "flash
incarceration," as defined in subdivision (e) are encouraged as one
method of punishment for violations of a parolee's conditions of
parole. Nothing in this section is intended to preclude referrals to
a reentry court pursuant to Section 3015.
   (e) "Flash incarceration" is a period of detention in county jail
due to a violation of a parolee's conditions of parole. The length of
the detention period can range between one and 10 consecutive days.
Shorter, but if necessary more frequent, periods of detention for
violations of a parolee's conditions of parole shall appropriately
punish a parolee while preventing the disruption in a work or home
establishment that typically arises from longer periods of detention.

   (f)  If   For   parolees subject to
subdivision (a), if  the supervising parole agency has
determined, following application of its assessment processes, that
intermediate sanctions up to and including flash incarceration are
not appropriate, the supervising parole agency shall, pursuant to
Section 1203.2, petition the court in the county in which the parolee
is being supervised to revoke parole. At any point during the
process initiated pursuant to this section, a parolee may waive, in
writing, his or her right to counsel, admit the parole violation,
waive a court hearing, and accept the proposed parole modification or
revocation. The petition shall include a written report that
contains additional information regarding the petition, including the
relevant terms and conditions of parole, the circumstances of the
alleged underlying violation, the history and background of the
parolee, and any recommendations. The Judicial Council shall adopt
forms and rules of court to establish uniform statewide procedures to
implement this subdivision, including the minimum contents of
supervision agency reports. Upon a finding that the person has
violated the conditions of parole, the court shall have authority to
do any of the following:
   (1) Return the person to parole supervision with modifications of
conditions, if appropriate, including a period of incarceration in
county jail.
   (2) Revoke parole and order the person to confinement in the
county jail.
   (3) Refer the person to a reentry court pursuant to Section 3015
or other evidence-based program in the court's discretion.
   (g) Confinement pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision
(f) shall not exceed a period of 180 days in the county jail.
   (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any case where
Section 3000.1 or paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 3000
applies to a person who is on parole and the court determines that
the person has committed a violation of law or violated his or her
conditions of parole, the person on parole shall be remanded to the
custody of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the
jurisdiction of the Board of Parole Hearings for the purpose of
future parole consideration.
   (i) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), any of the following persons
released from state prison shall be subject to the jurisdiction of,
and parole supervision by, the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation for a period of parole up to three years or the parole
term the person was subject to at the time of the commission of the
offense, whichever is greater:
   (1) The person is required to register as a sex offender pursuant
to Chapter 5.5 (commencing with Section 290) of Title 9 of Part 1,
and was subject to a period of parole exceeding three years at the
time he or she committed a felony for which they were convicted and
subsequently sentenced to state prison.
   (2) The person was subject to parole for life pursuant to Section
3000.1 at the time of the commission of the offense that resulted in
a conviction and state prison sentence.
   (j) Parolees subject to this section who have a pending
adjudication for a parole violation on July 1, 2013, shall be subject
to the jurisdiction of the Board of Parole Hearings. Parole
revocation proceedings conducted by the Board of Parole Hearings
prior to July 1, 2013, if reopened on or after July 1, 2013, shall be
subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Parole Hearings.
   (k) Except as described in subdivision (c), any person who is
convicted of a felony that requires community supervision and who
still has a period of state parole to serve shall discharge from
state parole at the time of release to community supervision.
   (  l  ) This section shall become operative on July 1,
2013.
  SEC. 3.  Section 3044 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   3044.  (a) Notwithstanding any other law, the Board of Parole
Hearings or its successor in interest shall be the state's parole
authority and shall be responsible for protecting victims' rights in
the parole process. Accordingly, to protect a victim from harassment
and abuse during the parole process, no person paroled from a
California correctional facility following incarceration for an
offense committed on or after the effective date of this act shall,
in the event his or her parole is revoked, be entitled to procedural
rights other than the following:
   (1) A parolee shall be entitled to a probable cause hearing no
later than 15 days following his or her arrest for violation of
parole.
   (2) A parolee shall be entitled to an evidentiary revocation
hearing no later than 45 days following his or her arrest for
violation of parole.
   (3) A parolee shall, upon request, be entitled to counsel at state
expense only if, considering the request on a case-by-case basis,
the board or its hearing officers determine:
   (A) The parolee is indigent; and
   (B) Considering the complexity of the charges, the defense, or
because the parolee's mental or educational capacity, he or she
appears incapable of speaking effectively in his or her own defense.
   (4) In the event the parolee's request for counsel, which shall be
considered on a case-by-case basis, is denied, the grounds for
denial shall be stated succinctly in the record.
   (5) Parole revocation determinations shall be based upon a
preponderance of evidence admitted at hearings including documentary
evidence, direct testimony, or hearsay evidence offered by parole
agents, peace officers, or a victim.
   (6) Admission of the recorded or hearsay statement of a victim or
percipient witness shall not be construed to create a right to
confront the witness at the hearing.
   (b) The board is entrusted with the safety of victims and the
public and shall make its determination fairly, independently, and
without bias and shall not be influenced by or weigh the state cost
or burden associated with just decisions. The board must accordingly
enjoy sufficient autonomy to conduct unbiased hearings,  and
 maintain an independent legal and administrative staff 
, and protect the rights of crime victims  . The board shall
report to the Governor.
  SEC. 4.  Section 3064.5 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   3064.5.  No person may be discharged from parole without first
completing 12 consecutive months of supervision without a parole
violation or arrest on new criminal charges. No person may be
discharged from parole while incarcerated or if his or her
whereabouts are unknown.
  SEC. 5.  Section 3069.7 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   3069.7.  (a) The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
shall develop a minimum of three parole violator adjustment and
rehabilitation facilities. The facilities shall be designed for the
secure incarceration, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of
offenders who have violated the conditions of their parole.
   (b) Parolees who violate the conditions of parole shall be
sentenced up to one year in a parole violator adjustment and
rehabilitation facility.
   (1) Violations that are drug related, and do not involve an
offense that could be charged as a violent felony, as defined in
subdivision (c) of Section 667.5, a serious felony, as defined in
subdivision (c) of Section 1192.7, or that would require registration
as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290, shall be served in a
parole violator adjustment and rehabilitation facility on nonrevoked
status, if the parolee agrees to submit to drug treatment. A
violation pursuant to this paragraph shall result in the parolee
serving at least six months in a parole violator adjustment and
rehabilitation facility, and thereafter the parolee shall be required
to enter a residential treatment program in the community as
recommended in a treatment plan by a contracted drug treatment
provider.
   (2) All other parole violations not described in paragraph (1)
shall result in the parolee serving the rest of his or her term in a
parole violator adjustment and rehabilitation facility on revoked
status. A specific treatment and programming plan shall be developed
for each parole violator.
   (c) Except as otherwise provided by law, parole violators shall
not be sent to prison for a parole violation unless they are
convicted of a new qualifying offense.
  SEC. 6.  Section 3451 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   3451.  (a) Notwithstanding any other law and except for persons
serving a prison term for any crime described in subdivision (b), all
persons released from prison on and after October 1, 2011  , and

served pursuant to Section 2900.5 after serving a prison term for a
felony shall, upon release from prison and for a period not exceeding
three years immediately following release, be subject to community
supervision provided by a county agency designated by each county's
board of supervisors which is consistent with evidence-based
practices, including, but not limited to, supervision policies,
procedures, programs, and practices demonstrated by scientific
research to reduce recidivism among individuals under postrelease
supervision.
   (b) This section shall not apply to any person released from
prison after having served a prison term for any of the following:
                   (1) A serious felony described in subdivision (c)
of Section 1192.7.
   (2) A violent felony described in subdivision (c) of Section
667.5.
