SB 424 New Hampshire Senate · 2024 Regular Session

relative to reductions of maximum sentences while on parole.

This bill requires probation and parole officers to review their caseloads annually to recommend eligible parolees for a reduction in their maximum sentence. The law allows the parole board to grant a sentence reduction equal to one-third of the time a person has spent on parole, provided they meet specific criteria. When making these decisions, the board must consider factors such as the parolee's risk of reoffending, their compliance with supervision rules, and input from victims or survivors. The changes apply to individuals currently on parole from state prison and take effect on January 1, 2025.
