AI Summary
This bill establishes the "earned time act", which provides for time allowances against the term or maximum term of sentences imposed by the court to be credited on an annual pro rata basis. The key provisions are:
- Incarcerated individuals shall receive a time allowance of one-half of their sentence, credited annually, that cannot be withheld, forfeited, or canceled once vested. Allowances not yet credited may be temporarily withheld or forfeited for rule violations, with a right to appeal.
- Meritorious accomplishments like earning a GED or vocational certificate will automatically qualify for additional time allowances.
- The Department of Corrections must report annually on the use of allowance reductions.
- The bill also adjusts related provisions in the Correction Law and Penal Law, including increasing the amount of time allowances for certain sentences.
