Establishes provisions relating to parole hearings for certain offenders

HB 1490 would require parole hearings for certain adolescent offenders (18-21 years old at time of offense) sentenced to 25+ years, after they serve 15 years. The board must review petitions within 30 days, requiring institutional parole officers to investigate rehabilitation efforts (work, programs, behavior) and provide mental health evaluations. Victims receive 12 months' notice with rights to attend hearings and submit statements. If granted parole, offenders face 3-10 years of supervised release based on offense type (nonviolent, violent, or life sentences), with rehearing options after denials. This applies only to first-time offenders not sentenced to death.
