Medical Parole Notification Bill Advances in Assembly

On Tuesday, the California Assembly Public Safety Committee unanimously approved a bill (AB 68) that would require the state to alert county authorities and families about prisoners with severe injuries who are released on parole to local medical facilities. Gov. Jerry Brown (D) has not taken a position on the measure, which now proceeds to the Appropriations Committee.
