Assembly Member Lackey's postrelease supervision reform measure revises how state corrections officials coordinate with county probation departments when individuals transition from prison to community supervision. The legislation modifies notification timelines and information sharing requirements between the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and county agencies.
Under the measure, state corrections officials must provide county probation departments with written and verbal notification of scheduled releases at least 90 days in advance, rather than the current 30-day requirement. For cases where release dates are set with less than 90 days' notice, the department must notify probation within 5 business days while maintaining a minimum 30-day advance notice. The department must also share contact information for individuals' prerelease, postrelease, and enhanced care managers to align California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) processes with local reentry services and court-ordered supervision conditions.
The bill establishes new protocols when a person's current county of residence differs from their last legal residence. In these cases, county probation departments must work with state corrections officials to verify the appropriate jurisdiction and develop coordinated release and transportation plans. While these additional duties constitute a state-mandated local program, the measure includes provisions for reimbursing affected counties through existing statutory mechanisms.
