Provides earned time credits to reduce parole eligibility date for inmates who participate in substance abuse treatment program.

This bill (A2478) allows New Jersey inmates participating in full-time substance abuse treatment programs to earn extra time credits toward early parole. Specifically, it directs prison officials to award inmates 1.5 times the standard commutation credits (known as "good time" credits) they would normally receive while enrolled in such a program. This directly affects inmates in state prisons who complete the required substance abuse treatment. The policy change reduces their parole eligibility date faster than current law would allow, applying during the period of active treatment participation.
