Bill	Parole: intimate partner battering.	Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings, one year prior to an inmate's minimum eligible parole release date, to meet with the inmate to review his or her suitability for parole. As part of this review, existing law requires the board to consider information or evidence that, at the time of the crime, the person had experienced intimate partner battering, if that person was convicted of the offense prior to the enactment of a specified provision of law. Under existing law, the board is required to annually report to the Legislature and the Governor on cases that the board considered for parole, including the board's decisions and the findings of its investigations in these cases. Existing case law supports the denial of parole on the ground that the prisoner lacks insight into his or her crimes and its causes.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 1593	California AB 1593 (20112012)	bill	Parole: intimate partner battering.	enacted	Ma	5	19	5	2012-02-06	2012-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/b51b99f4-86d3-49a4-b15a-597461eea15b	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB1593	e4974768528c0b379c7804cae3ccb589fed031895aac55e90ab299507ff03841	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
