Decreases the penalty for certain parole violations.

This bill (S 232) reduces the mandatory re-incarceration period for certain "technical" parole violations from 12 to 9 months for adult parolees aged 26 or older. It specifically applies to violations like failing to report to a parole officer (when declared "missing"), not following special parole conditions, or using controlled substances (if the parole board determines addiction exists). The bill maintains the current 3-month adjustment option for the period based on the parolee’s circumstances. This changes existing policy, which previously applied the 9-month standard only to younger parolees (18-25 years old). The policy change directly affects adult parolees who commit these specific non-criminal violations.
