(a)The Department of Corrections shall operate the Preventing Parolee Crime Program with various components, including, at a minimum, residential and nonresidential multiservice centers, literacy labs, drug treatment networks, and job placement assistance for parolees.

(b)The Department of Corrections shall, commencing in the 1998–99 fiscal year, initiate an expansion of the program to parole units now lacking some or all of the elements of the program, where doing so would be cost-effective, as determined by the Director of Corrections, to the extent that funding for the expansion becomes available.

(c)In addition to the assignment by the Department of Corrections of any other parolee to the Preventing Parolee Crime Program, the parole authority may assign a conditionally released or paroled prisoner to the Preventing Parolee Crime Program in lieu of the revocation of parole. The parole authority shall not assign a conditionally released or paroled prisoner to the Preventing Parolee Crime Program in lieu of the revocation of parole if the person has committed a parole violation involving a violent or serious felony. A special condition of parole that requires the parolee to participate in a live-in program shall not be imposed without a hearing by the Board of Prison Terms.
