CA AB999

Prohibits the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from extending a ward's parole consideration date as a disciplinary sanction.

Requires the department to establish a process allowing wards whose parole consideration hearing dates were delayed due to disciplinary sanctions prior to January 1, 2011, to receive a reduction of up to 100% of time acquired for those disciplinary matters.

Mandates the department promulgate policies and regulations implementing a departmentwide system of graduated sanctions for ward disciplinary matters that is consistent, timely, proportionate, and ensures due process rights.

Establishes that disciplinary sanctions for serious misconduct may only include forfeiture of credits, with all other sanctioning options considered and documented as unsuitable based on the ward's prior history and misconduct circumstances.
