3058.8
. (a) At the time a notification is sent pursuant to
subdivision (a) of Section 3058.6, the Board of Parole Hearings or
the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the designated
agency responsible for notification, as the case may be, shall also
notify persons described in Section 679.03 who have requested a
notice informing those persons of the fact that the person who
committed the violent offense is scheduled to be released from the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or from the State
Department of State Hospitals, including, but not limited to,
conditional release, and specifying the proposed date of release.
Notice of the community in which the person is scheduled to reside
shall also be given if it is (1) in the county of residence of a
witness, victim, or family member of a victim who has requested
notification, or (2) within 100 miles of the actual residence of a
witness, victim, or family member of a victim who has requested
notification. If, after providing the witness, victim, or next of kin
with the notice, there is any change in the release date or the
community in which the person is to reside, the board or department
shall provide the witness, victim, or next of kin with the revised
information.
(b) In order to be entitled to receive the notice set forth in
this section, the requesting party shall keep the department or board
informed of his or her current contact information.
(c) The board or department, when sending out notices regarding an
offender's release on parole, shall use the information provided by
the requesting party pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 679.03,
unless that information is no longer current. If the information is
no longer current, the department shall make a reasonable attempt to
contact the person and to notify him or her of the impending release.
