Enacted
The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the Board of Parole Hearings with respect to the granting, denial, revocation, or suspension of parole of a person sentenced to an indeterminate term upon conviction of murder. Existing law classifies certain felonies as violent felonies for purposes of various provisions of the Penal Code.
This bill would additionally authorize the Governor to reverse or modify the decision of the board to grant parole to an inmate sentenced for conviction of a violent felony to an indeterminate prison term, as specified, or to a determinate prison term, as specified, if the boards decision is to grant the inmate parole pursuant to the Elderly Parole Program or youth offender parole program.
These provisions would become operative only if Assembly Constitutional Amendment ____ of the 202526 Regular Session is approved by the voters at the November 3, 2026, statewide election.
