AI Summary
This bill clarifies that the changes made by the Justice Reinvestment Act related to the application of diminution credits (a reduction in an inmate's sentence for good behavior) will be applied prospectively, meaning they will only apply to inmates who are sentenced or committed to custody for a violation of probation on or after October 1, 2017. The bill also specifies that the changes cannot result in an inmate's release date being prior to the effective date of the Act, and that the changes do not create a cause of action for false imprisonment against the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services or local correctional facilities. The bill takes effect on October 1, 2019.
