Bill > SB0849

This bill amends Section 34 of the Corrections Code of 1953 to provide for the parole of certain juvenile offenders under certain circumstances. Specifically, it allows individuals who were under 18 years old when they committed certain crimes and have served 10 years of their sentence to be subject to the jurisdiction of the parole board and potentially be released on parole. The bill outlines factors the parole board must consider in determining whether to release these individuals on parole, including their age, home environment, and role in the offense at the time. The bill also includes various other provisions related to parole eligibility and procedures for certain drug-related offenses and life sentences.
