62020.5 BPT Disparate Review

  • The BPT, under PCPenal Code 1170(f), shall review all cases for sentence disparity and recommend recall, if appropriate, within the first 12 months of commitment. As a matter of policy, the BPT will assume responsibility under PCPenal Code 1170(d), for recommending recall of sentences that subsequently become disparate due to non-retroactive legislative changes that reduce or eliminate the criminal penalty for an offense.
