The Judicial Council of California has scheduled a series of web-based training sessions to prepare courts and county staff for the statewide criminal amnesty program scheduled to launch on October, 1, 2015. The criminal amnesty program was passed as part of the 2015-16 State Budget Package, and establishes an 18-month amnesty program for those who have been convicted of traffic infractions and certain misdemeanors with outstanding monetary penalties associated with their offense.
The webinars will provide an overview of the criminal amnesty program and the resources available for implementation. Full details on the Amnesty Program and upcoming informational sessions can be accessed here.
