Resolution Supporting the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2020 (Prop. 20) <br />September 15, 2020 <br />Page 2 <br />initiative would also define 51 crimes and sentence enhancements as violent in order to exclude <br />them from the parole review program. <br />In California, counties are responsible for supervising paroled felons convicted of non -serious and <br />non-violent crimes, as defined by law, and who were not classified as high -risk sex offenders nor <br />classified as needing treatment from the state's Department of Mental Health. Counties have <br />discretion on whether to petition the judicial system to change a felon's post -release supervision <br />terms or status. The ballot initiative would require local probation departments to ask a judge to <br />change the conditions or status of a felon's post -release supervision if the felon violated supervision <br />terms for the third time. <br />The information included in this staff report was retrieved from Ballotpedia.org: <br />https:Hballotpedia.org/California Proposition 20, Criminal Sentencing, Parole, and DNA Colle <br />ction Initiative (2020). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />Submitted By: Kristine Ridge, City Manager <br />Exhibit: 1.
