What it does

Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to provide written notice at least 30 days before it meets to review or consider the parole suitability of any inmate sentenced to a life sentence to the judge of the superior court before whom the inmate was tried and convicted, the attorney who represented the defendant at trial, the district attorney of the county in which the offense was committed, and the law enforcement agency that investigated the case. If the inmate was convicted of the murder of a peace officer, existing law also requires notice to be provided to the law enforcement agency that employed the peace officer.
