Legislative Bill Action
<br />AB 1495 (Chavez). Parole Placement.
<br />Existing law provides that an inmate who is
<br />released on parole shall not be retumett o within
<br />35 miles of the residence of a victim of, or wit-
<br />ness to, specified felonies, if the victim or witness
<br />requests the additional distance, and the Board of
<br />Prison Terms or the Department of Corrections
<br />finds that there is a need to protect the life, safety,
<br />or well being of the victim or witness. AB 1495
<br />would extend this 35 -mile exclusion distance to
<br />50 miles. Existing law also provides that persons
<br />released on parole for specified sex offenses
<br />involving children victims may not be placed or
<br />reside, for the duration of parole, within 1/4 mile of
<br />a school, including any or all of Kindergarten or
<br />grades 1 to 6. AB 1495 would specify that the 1/4
<br />mile exclusion applies to public or private schools,
<br />and would expand the exclusion to cover schools
<br />that include 7th or 8th grade. Staff: Natasha
<br />Fooman, Status: SenPubSfty;Hrg -6/10, Position:
