California AB 1490

Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, county sheriff, or director of the local department of corrections to give notice not less than 15 days prior to the release from the state prison or a county jail of any person who is convicted of specified crimes, including a felony offense involving domestic violence, or of any change in the parole status or relevant change in the parole location of the convicted person or if the convicted person absconds from supervision while on parole, to any person the court identifies as a victim of the offense, a family member of the victim, or a witness to the offense. This bill would require notice not less than 20 days prior to the release instead of 15 days.
