Bill overview
This bill allows incarcerated individuals who successfully participated in specific California Conservation Camp or firehouse programs to petition the court to have their criminal charges dismissed, effectively releasing them of penalties and disabilities associated with the conviction. It requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or a county authority, to certify the individual’s participation to the court upon their release. Furthermore, the bill prohibits denial of licenses, such as emergency medical technician certifications, based solely on the individual’s arrest or conviction history, and clarifies the process for expungement.
