An Act relative to elder and medical parole

HD 1114 creates new parole pathways for incarcerated individuals aged 55+ and those with qualifying medical conditions. It requires parole boards to schedule hearings within 60 days of a person turning 55 or meeting a 15-year service threshold, with special consideration for age, medical conditions, and diminished capacity. For medical parole, it revises definitions of "permanent incapacitation" and "terminal illness," requiring medical documentation, a risk assessment, and 24-hour video evidence of incapacity before release. The bill mandates annual reporting on parole decisions and prohibits denial based on race, disability, or prior conviction alone.
