Bill overview
This bill updates procedures for obtaining clearances within California state prisons. It expands access to clearances for legal professionals and their support staff, renaming existing clearances to ‘annual gate clearances’ and ‘short-term gate clearances.’ The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will streamline the application process, reduce administrative burdens, and allow for quicker clearance approvals, including for the Governor, legislators, and judges, without requiring lengthy applications.
