CA AB1071

Authorizes defendants alleging racial discrimination violations under the California Racial Justice Act (RJA) to file motions for disclosure of all relevant evidence in the state's possession related to potential violations based on race, ethnicity, or national origin

Expands available remedies for RJA violations before judgment to include "any other remedy not prohibited by another law," in addition to existing options like mistrial, new jury panel, or dismissal of enhancements

Requires courts to appoint counsel for indigent petitioners filing habeas corpus petitions if the petition pleads a plausible allegation of an RJA violation or if the State Public Defender requests appointment

Clarifies that defendants may file discovery motions in preparation for filing an RJA claim, not just after filing, under habeas corpus petitions (Section 1473) or motions to vacate convictions (Section 1473.7)

Contains legislative findings criticizing court interpretations that impose higher procedural barriers than intended under the RJA, emphasizing that statistical evidence alone may be sufficient to establish a violation and that intentional discrimination need not be proven
