Bill > S01970

This bill amends the Correction Law to ensure that time allowances for good behavior and performance in assigned programs are not withheld if a person fails to complete a program due to circumstances beyond their control. The bill clarifies that such allowances shall not be withheld, forfeited, or canceled if a person's failure to complete a program is due to factors outside their control. This change applies to various provisions related to time allowances, the earned eligibility program, and presumptive release. The bill aims to prevent incarcerated individuals from being penalized for circumstances beyond their ability to influence.
