AB 994: County jails.
What AB 994 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to allow a person committed to a state prison to petition for pretrial confinement to be served at the state prison instead of the county jail if they are alleged to have committed a new offense. This would be subject to certain conditions, including the person's eligibility for pretrial release. The person would need to consult with counsel before making the petition. The court would then consider the request and make a decision. This change would provide an alternative to serving pretrial confinement in the county jail.
