AI Summary
This bill establishes presumptive parole using structured, actuarially-based guidelines and a validated risk and needs assessment tool. The parole board must consider the prisoner's participation in work, education, and treatment programs, as well as any reasonable accommodations needed for prisoners with disabilities. If the board determines the prisoner will not violate the law upon release with appropriate conditions and supervision, parole must be granted at the prisoner's first eligibility date and any subsequent review. The bill also requires the Department of Public Health to secure a medically appropriate placement within 60 days for any parolee who needs specialized care but is unable to secure a home plan.
