In re Flores CA3
“In 2016, voters approved Proposition 57, the ‘Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016.’ Proposition 57 amended the California Constitution to grant early parole consideration to persons convicted of a nonviolent felony offense. (Cal. Const., art. I, § 32, subd. (a)(1).)” (In re Kavanaugh (2021) 61 Cal.App.5th 320, 334 (Kavanaugh).) Proposition 57 also directed the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to adopt regulations in furtherance of its provisions. (Cal. Const., art. I, § 32, subd. (b); Kavanaugh at p. 334.) CDCR promulgated separate regulations for prisoners serving determinate and indeterminate sentences. (Kavanaugh, at pp. 334, 336 & fn. 3; see also Pen. Code, § 3040 et seq. and associated regulations [applicable to indeterminately sentenced prisoners]; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 15, §§ 2449.1, 2449.3-2449.7, 3490-3493 [applicable to determinately sentenced prisoners].) The regulations for prisoners serving indeterminate sentences are not at issue
