Waives certain fees for offenders who are not subject to lifetime supervision or require electronic monitoring services

HB 2757 establishes a fee waiver system for offenders on probation or parole who are not subject to lifetime supervision and do not require electronic monitoring, exempting them from monthly fees that can otherwise be used for community corrections services. The bill also mandates that the parole board conduct validated risk assessments and personal interviews before ordering parole, while allowing hearings to be held via videoconference. Additionally, it sets specific eligibility rules for juvenile offenders, including a provision that allows those sentenced to fifteen years or more for crimes committed under age eighteen to become eligible for parole after serving fifteen years, unless they were convicted of first-degree or capital murder. The legislation further outlines procedures for victim participation in parole hearings and requires that parole conditions be tailored to the individual's risk level and needs.
