Section 3155.

In addition to any other payment to which he or she is entitled by law, each person who has been committed to the custody of the Director of Corrections pursuant to this chapter shall, upon his or her release, be paid the sum of two hundred dollars ($200), from such appropriations that may be made available for the purposes of this section.

The director may prescribe rules and regulations (a) to limit or eliminate any payments provided for in this section to persons who have not been confined at least six consecutive months prior to their release in instances where the director determines that such a payment is not necessary for the rehabilitation of the prisoner, and (b) to establish procedures for the payment of the sum of the two hundred dollars ($200) within the first 60 days of a prisoner's release.

The provisions of this section shall not be applicable if the person is released to the custody of another state or to the custody of the federal government, nor shall they apply to persons discharged pursuant to Section 3109 who subsequently, as a result of such discharge, are committed to state prison.
