AN ACT CONCERNING PAROLE ELIGIBILITY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL SERVING A LENGTHY SENTENCE FOR A CRIME COMMITTED BEFORE THE INDIVIDUAL REACHED THE AGE OF TWENTY-FIVE.

HB 5464 would amend Connecticut law to expand parole eligibility for individuals serving long sentences for crimes they committed before turning 25. Specifically, it changes Title 54 of the general statutes to include this group in parole consideration under certain circumstances. The bill directly affects people convicted of serious offenses as minors or young adults who are currently incarcerated. It does not alter sentencing rules but adjusts eligibility criteria for parole review. The bill aims to provide a pathway for parole consideration for this specific cohort of inmates.
