Criminal Justice Realignment: Supervision Revocation Procedure (PDF, 104 KB)
Item Number: LEG12-01

Following the October 1, 2011, implementation of criminal justice realignment, courts are required to conduct supervision revocation proceedings for three categories of supervision—probation, mandatory supervision, and postrelease community supervision, each with distinct procedural requirements. A fourth category—revocation of state parole—becomes effective July 1, 2013. To reduce confusion and promote consistency across the four types of significantly similar proceedings, this proposal would amend various statutes to apply probation revocation procedures under Penal Code section 1203.2 to all four categories of supervision.
