CA AB1306

Prohibits the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from detaining individuals on immigration holds, providing release date information to immigration authorities, or transferring individuals to immigration authorities if they are eligible for release under youth offender parole, elderly parole, medical parole, compassionate release, resentencing, or clemency provisions.

Repeals existing Penal Code sections requiring the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to cooperate with federal immigration authorities by identifying undocumented immigrants in state prisons and providing facility use, transportation, and support for deportation proceedings.

Applies to individuals released after resentencing under the Racial Justice Act, after conviction vacatur under AB 124 (human trafficking/intimate partner violence law), or after being granted gubernatorial clemency.

Reflects the Legislature's commitment to ensuring criminal justice reforms benefiting eligible individuals are applied equally regardless of immigration status and to prevent "double punishment" through deportation of those who have earned their release.
