AB 1490: Inmate release: notice to victims.
What AB 1490 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, county sheriff, or local corrections director to give notice to victims, family members, or witnesses of a person's release from state prison or county jail. The notice must be given at least 20 days prior to the release, as opposed to the current 15-day requirement. This change aims to provide more time for victims and their families to prepare and take necessary steps after the release of a convicted person.
