CA SB759

Requires county agencies supervising postrelease community supervision to petition the court to revoke, modify, or terminate supervision when a person violates release terms for a third time and commits a new felony or misdemeanor

Removes provision that would have allowed peace officers to arrest without warrant persons who fail to appear at hearings to revoke, modify, or terminate postrelease community supervision

Courts retain authority to issue warrants for persons who fail to appear for hearings on revocation petitions or to remand persons to custody in the interests of justice

Confinement for revocation violations cannot exceed 180 days in county jail per custodial sanction, and supervision cannot extend beyond three years from initial entry onto postrelease community supervision

State funding is required for local agencies to implement any cost increases from this act; no state-mandated reimbursement is required absent such funding
