CA SB530

Removes requirement that exonerees must have been imprisoned in state prison or county jail to claim compensation for erroneous conviction, effective July 1, 2024 if appropriations are made.

Extends deadline for California Victim Compensation Board to calculate and approve compensation from 30 days to 90 days after filing a claim.

Adds compensation of $70 per day for time spent on parole, supervised release, or registered as a sex offender solely due to erroneous conviction, plus reasonable attorney fees and costs.

Allows persons who served parole or supervised release before July 1, 2024 to bring compensation petitions until July 1, 2027, including supplementary petitions for those with prior claims.

Makes all changes contingent on availability of General Fund moneys and legislative appropriation to backfill the Restitution Fund.
