AB 1539 which
expedites the process for compassionate release is on the Governor's
desk. The bill makes technical changes
to ensure each stage of the request is
handled timely and that a prisoner has a chance to get home
before death occurs.
The sponsors of the bill have asked for phone calls to the Governor
and letters in support of AB 1539.
Support should be done as quickly as you can as the deadline
for signing/vetoing all bills is Oct 12.
