California AB2342 amends parole laws to prioritize public safety and victim rights.

California AB2342 amends parole laws to prioritize public safety and victim rights, ensuring that parole hearings are transparent and consider the gravity of the inmate's offense. The bill mandates that inmates be informed of their parole hearing at least 10 days in advance and allows them to review the file and submit a written response. It also requires the Board of Parole Hearings to issue written decisions explaining the basis for granting or denying parole.
