Proud to present my bill #SB672 – the Youth Rehabilitation and Opportunity Act, in Senate Public Safety today. This bill recognizes the importance of redemption, growth, and victims’ voices in a just system. Grateful to the committee for passing it. #Rehabilitation #CALeg

Thank you Senator Susan Rubio for exercising a fair & balanced approach to SB 672. This bill provides an opportunity for emerging adults who have served atleast 25 yrs, to go before the Board of Parole Hearings & take responsibility for the harm they have caused. #BeyondLWOP

Please join us in supporting SB 672 (Sen. Susan Rubio D22), which would allows persons sentenced to life without parole (LWOP) for crimes committed before age 26 to request a parole hearing after serving at least 25 years in prison. #secondchances #endlwop bit.ly/45HyS1d

Despite the criticism and misinformation the CA Senate Approves SB 672 in 24–11 vote. SB672 would include some individuals serving LWOP a chance to go to the parole board after their 25th year who committed their crimes between the ages of 18 & under 26 years old.

SB 672 is a step towards a more just system, aligning CA law with modern neuroscience that recognizes brain development continues into the mid-20s. It provides a review, not guaranteed release, through a rigorous, proven parole process. #PassSB672 Senator Susan Rubio National LWOP Leadership Council

Sometimes the best argument for supporting second chances is standing right in front of us. Thank you Senator Susan Rubio for your incredible leadership. Because of your hard work, thousands of people sentenced to LWOP are one step closer to earning a second chance. #BeyondLWOP

Schaffer, the former parole board executive officer, supports SB 672. “I also think that giving people an opportunity to show that they’ve truly transformed is a very meaningful thing. I just think it’s something important for humanity in general.” calmatters.org/justice/2025/0…
