Modifies provisions relating to court-imposed sentences
This bill modifies how the parole board evaluates and grants release for offenders, requiring that a person must serve their minimum sentence before becoming eligible for parole. It mandates that the board conduct validated risk assessments and personal interviews, ensuring victims have the right to request a hearing and attend proceedings with support. The legislation also introduces a monthly supervision fee capped at sixty dollars to fund community corrections services like treatment and employment placement. Additionally, it establishes specific rules for calculating parole eligibility for those with consecutive sentences and creates a pathway for juvenile offenders sentenced to fifteen years or more to be considered for release after serving that term, with exceptions for first-degree murder cases.
