Elderly Parole Program.
- Modifies the Elderly Parole Program to require sex offenders serve 25 years and reach age 60 before parole eligibility.
- Maintains standard eligibility of age 50 and 20 years served for most other inmates.
- Excludes inmates who murdered peace officers in retaliation for their duties from the program.
- Preserves existing victim rights during all parole hearings under this program.
Assembly Member Nguyen's modification to California's Elderly Parole Program establishes new eligibility requirements for certain offenders seeking parole consideration. The measure adjusts parole criteria for individuals required to register as sexual offenders, habitual sexual offenders, and those convicted of specific sexual offenses, mandating that these inmates must be at least 60 years old and serve a minimum of 25 years of continuous incarceration before becoming eligible for elderly parole consideration.
The bill maintains existing program parameters for most inmates, who remain eligible at age 50 with 20 years of continuous incarceration. Under the amended rules, the Board of Parole Hearings continues to evaluate age, time served, and diminished physical condition when assessing an elderly inmate's risk for future violence. The legislation preserves current exclusions for inmates sentenced under California's three strikes law and those serving life sentences without parole or death sentences, while adding new restrictions for individuals convicted of first-degree murder of peace officers killed during duty or in retaliation for official acts.
