Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to failure to complete a program for time allowances due to circumstances beyond an individual's control
AI Summary
This bill amends the Correction Law to ensure that time allowances and earned eligibility credits are not withheld from incarcerated individuals who fail to complete assigned programs due to circumstances beyond their control. The bill provides that such allowances and credits cannot be withheld or revoked if the failure to complete a program is due to factors outside the individual's control. This change aims to prevent unfair penalization of incarcerated individuals who are unable to finish their assigned programs for reasons beyond their ability to influence.
