Overview
This bill amends California law to allow courts to extend a defendant's probation term by up to one year for felony convictions related to real estate crimes, such as mortgage fraud or recording fraudulent instruments. If a defendant is already on formal probation, the probation department must petition the court for an extension, which the court can grant if it deems additional programming necessary. The bill also includes a provision ensuring state reimbursement to local agencies for any costs associated with implementing this expanded probation process.
