Maddy summaryThis bill (A 206) amends New York State correction law to clarify that incarcerated individuals serving determinate or indeterminate sentences cannot lose earned time allowances for failing to complete work or treatment programs due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g., medical issues or facility disruptions). It modifies sections 803, 804, and 805 of the Correction Law to explicitly state that time allowances - earned through good behavior, program participation, or educational/vocational achievements - must not be withheld, forfeited, or canceled in such cases. The policy directly affects incarcerated people in state facilities who qualify for time credits under existing programs, ensuring they retain earned credits even if program completion is interrupted by external factors. This change aligns with existing provisions but adds specificity to prevent automatic loss of credits for unavoidable disruptions.
