Senate Bill 94 made it out of the CA State Assembly Appropriations Committee today! #YesonSB94

[California Innocence Coalition @CA_InnocenceCoa]

CA Senate Bill 94 follows a clear three-step path of rigorous evaluation: judicial discretion, the Board of Parole Hearings, and the Governor's review. Public safety officials and victims will be involved and consulted at each step in the process. #YesonSB94
