| 1 | + | Amended IN Senate March 27, 2017 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20172018 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 708Introduced by Senator Skinner(Coauthor: Senator Atkins)February 17, 2017An act to add Section 22 to the Penal Code, relating to crime. An act to add Section 5067 to the Penal Code, and to add Section 18901.35 to the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to public social services.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 708, as amended, Skinner. Sentencing: life without the possibility of parole. Supplemental Security Income and CalFresh: preenrollment.Existing federal law establishes various disability benefits programs, including the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, under which cash assistance is provided to qualified low-income aged, blind, and disabled persons. Existing federal law requires the federal Commissioner of Social Security to develop a system under which an individual can apply for SSI benefits prior to the discharge or release of the individual from a public institution.This bill would require the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to establish memoranda of understanding with the federal Social Security Administration to allow a person incarcerated in a correctional institution to apply for and receive a replacement social security card and to allow the administration to process SSI claims under the prerelease program.Existing federal law provides for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known in California as CalFresh, formerly the Food Stamp Program, under which supplemental nutrition assistance benefits allocated to the state by the federal government are distributed to eligible individuals by each county. Existing federal law generally prohibits a resident of an institution from receiving supplemental nutrition assistance benefits.This bill would require the State Department of Social Services, on or before March 31, 2018, to request a waiver to allow for the preenrollment of otherwise eligible applicants to the CalFresh program up to one month prior to the applicants reentry into the community from a county jail or the state prison. To the extent that any federally necessary waiver is obtained, the bill would authorize a county board of supervisors or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to establish a policy to facilitate applications for the CalFresh program for prisoners prior to their release from a county jail or the state prison, respectively.Existing law, as added by Proposition 7 of 1978, as amended by several initiative measures thereafter, specifies the circumstances in which a person convicted of certain crimes shall be sentenced to death or imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole. Those initiative measures may not be amended by the Legislature. Existing law, as further amended by Proposition 115 and Proposition 21, requires persons convicted of certain crimes to be sentenced to death or imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Those initiative measures may be amended by a 23vote of the Legislature.Existing law authorizes a defendant who was under 18 years of age at the time of committing an offense for which the defendant was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole to submit a petition for recall and resentencing to the sentencing court, as prescribed.This bill would amend the above-referenced initiatives by defining the sentence of life without parole for a person who was under 25 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense as life without the possibility of parole for 25 years.The bill would require the Secretary of State to submit provisions of the bill to the voters for their approval at the June 5, 2018, statewide primary election.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
