S 4456 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires administrative review for purposes of parole discharge of certain parolees sentenced to life imprisonment.

This bill requires the State Parole Board to automatically review parolees sentenced to life imprisonment who are currently on parole after they have served at least seven years of parole supervision and maintained advanced supervision status for the previous two years. The review, to be completed within 60 days of the bill's effective date, will determine if these individuals should be discharged from parole (no longer under supervision) based on existing criteria like satisfactory adjustment and payment of fines or restitution. Currently, such reviews only occur if a parole officer recommends them, but this bill mandates the Board to initiate the review for all eligible cases without relying on officer recommendations. This change ensures eligible parolees are proactively considered for parole discharge under standardized, timely procedures.
