CA AB2499

Mandatory supervision for county jail sentences now commences upon release from physical custody or an alternative custody program (whichever is later), rather than immediately upon release from custody.

Law enforcement agencies may request current and historical GPS location data from home detention program participants solely for investigatory purposes, at the discretion of the corrections administrator.

Law enforcement departments without primary supervisory responsibility over electronic monitoring participants are prohibited from using shared information to conduct enforcement actions based on administrative violations of home detention programs.

Law enforcement agencies with knowledge that a criminal investigation subject participates in an electronic monitoring program must make reasonable efforts to notify the supervising agency before serving warrants or taking law enforcement action.

Time served in home detention programs pursuant to Sections 1203.016 and 1203.018 now qualifies as mandatory jail time for crediting days in custody and satisfying mandatory minimum sentencing requirements.
