Domestic Violence: Probation
AB 372 (Stone) – Sponsor
As Introduced January 9, 2017
Assembly Bill 372 by Assembly Member Mark Stone would require
that the goal of the 52-week domestic violence batterer’s
intervention program shall be to stop domestic violence through
evidence-based or promising programs that reduce domestic
violence recidivism rates. This bill is sponsored by CSAC, and
supported by the Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC)
and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
Inmates: Health Care Enrollment
SB 222 (Hernandez) – Support
Introduced February 2, 2017
Senate Bill 222 by Senator Ed Hernandez would extend the
suspension of Medi-Cal benefits for incarcerated individuals,
regardless of the length of incarceration, who were previously
enrolled in Medi-Cal until their release from county jail or
state prison. This extension allows for prompt reinstatement of
Medi-Cal benefits upon release and eliminates the need to reapply
for coverage. This bill is sponsored by the County Welfare
Directors Association (CWDA) and the Californians for Safety and
Justice.
