(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D – Highland) is proud to announce AB 433, requiring crime victims and their attorneys be made aware of early termination of probation, has cleared the Assembly on a 73-1 vote.

“In cases where a restitution order has been granted by a judge and there is an early termination of probation, if this order is not finalized, the victim can be saddled with immense financial cost alongside the burden of victimization. This bill gives victims a voice and ensures they have the opportunity to seek restitution through the judicial process,” said Assemblymember Ramos.

(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D – Highland) joined Assemblymember Reggie Jones Sawyer (D – South Los Angeles) today in calling for $10 million for the Tribal Youth Diversion program, as part of the request for a $100 million Youth Reinvestment Grant. Both programs seek to reduce juvenile contact with the justice system.
