AB 68 California Assembly · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Parole.

Summary

Existing law provides that the Board of Parole Hearings or its successor in interest shall be the state's parole authority. Existing law generally provides that a prisoner who is found to be permanently medically incapacitated be granted medical parole, if the Board of Parole Hearings determines that the conditions under which the prisoner would be released would not reasonably pose a threat to public safety. Existing law requires a physician employed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation who is the primary care provider for a prisoner to recommend that the prisoner be referred to the Board of Parole Hearings for consideration for medical parole if the physician believes the prisoner meets the medical criteria for medical parole. This bill would require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to give notice of any medical parole hearing and any medical parole release to the county of commitment, and the county of proposed release, at least 30 days, or as soon as feasible, prior to a medical parole hearing or a medical parole release.
