Relating to the release of an inmate on medically recommended intensive supervision.

SB 2756 amends Texas law to allow certain inmates with specific medical conditions to be released on medically recommended intensive supervision. It directly affects inmates aged 50+ or those with terminal illness, mental illness, intellectual disability, physical disability, or long-term care needs (with additional criteria for certain offenses). The bill requires the Texas Correctional Office to identify eligible inmates, a parole panel to confirm no public safety risk, and a supervised release plan to be approved before release. The law also prohibits parole panels from denying release solely based on the nature of the offense. This bill modifies Section 508.146 of the Government Code and is currently in the Criminal Justice committee.
