AB 1737: Postrelease community supervision.
The bill aims to improve post-release community supervision in California. It requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to notify various officials, including county probation officers, of upcoming releases and provide information about the parolee, such as photographs and fingerprints. This notification must be provided at least 90 days before release, but can be done within 5 business days if the release date is set or reset for 90 days or less. The bill also requires coordination between departments to determine a parolee's current county of residence and develop plans for their release and transportation. This increased duty on county probation departments is considered a state-mandated local program.
