SECTION 1176-1180

1176. When, in the opinion of the Youth Authority Board, any person
committed to or confined in any such school deserves parole
according to regulations established for the purpose, and it will be
to his or her advantage to be paroled, the board may grant parole
under conditions it deems best. A reputable home or place of
employment shall be provided for each person so paroled.

1177. When any person so paroled has proved his or her ability for
honorable self-support, the Youth Authority Board shall give him or
her honorable discharge. Any person on parole who violates the
conditions of his or her parole may be returned to the Youth
Authority.

1178. The Youth Authority Board may grant honorable discharge to
any person committed to or confined in any such school. The reason
for that discharge shall be entered in the records.

1179. (a) All persons honorably discharged from control of the
Youth Authority Board shall thereafter be released from all penalties
or disabilities resulting from the offenses for which they were
committed, including, but not limited to, any disqualification for
any employment or occupational license, or both, created by any other
provision of law. However, that a person shall not be eligible for
appointment as a peace officer employed by any public agency if his
or her appointment would otherwise be prohibited by Section 1029 of
the Government Code.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (a), that person
may be appointed and employed as a peace officer by the Department
of the Youth Authority if (1) at least five years have passed since
his or her honorable discharge, and the person has had no misdemeanor
or felony convictions except for traffic misdemeanors since he or
she was honorably discharged by the board, or (2) the person was
employed as a peace officer by the department on or before January 1,
1983. No person who is under the jurisdiction of the department
shall be admitted to an examination for a peace officer position with
the department unless and until the person has been honorably
discharged from the jurisdiction of the department by the Youth
Authority Board.
(c) Upon the final discharge or dismissal of any such person, the
Department of the Youth Authority shall immediately certify the
discharge or dismissal in writing, and shall transmit the certificate
to the court by which the person was committed. The court shall
thereupon dismiss the accusation and the action pending against that
person.

1180. The Department of the Youth Authority shall provide, within
10 days, upon request to the chief of police of a city or the sheriff
of a county information available to the department, including
actual, glossy photographs, no smaller than 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 inches in
size, and, in conjunction with the Department of Justice,
fingerprints concerning persons then on parole who are or may be
residing or temporarily domiciled in that city or county.
