PART 3. OF IMPRISONMENT AND THE DEATH PENALTY [2000 - 10007]
ARTICLE 3. Discharge Upon Completion of Term
Section 3041.1
Up to 90 days prior to a scheduled release date, the Governor may request review of any decision by a parole authority concerning the grant or denial of parole to any inmate in a state prison. The Governor shall state the reason or reasons for the request, and whether the request is based on a public safety concern, a concern that the gravity of current or past convicted offenses may have been given inadequate consideration, or on other factors. When a request has been made, a randomly selected committee comprised of nine commissioners specifically appointed to hear adult parole matters and who are holding office at the time, shall review the parole decision. In case of a review, a vote in favor of parole by a majority of the commissioners on the committee shall be required to grant parole to any inmate. In carrying out any review, the board shall comply with the provisions of this chapter.
(Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 10, Sec. 30. Effective May 10, 2005. Operative July 1, 2005, as provided in Sec. 99 of Ch. 10.)
