AB 2237: Probation: term length.
What AB 2237 does, verified August 5, 2026
This bill aims to amend the California Penal Code to allow for a longer period of probation for individuals convicted of certain crimes, including those who are required to register as sex offenders. A court can now suspend the sentence for up to three years for individuals granted probation and ordered to register as sex offenders. This change would impose a state-mandated local program and require reimbursement for costs mandated by the state if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
