California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 13, 2025

What AB 248 does, verified December 13, 2025

The bill proposes to amend a section of the penal code relating to county jails. The existing law allows the board of supervisors to credit each prisoner with up to $2 for each 8 hours of work performed in jail. The proposed bill would instead authorize the board to credit each prisoner with a sum of money to be determined by the board.
