AI Summary
This bill creates a medical and geriatric parole program in New Mexico. It defines key terms like "geriatric inmate", "permanently incapacitated inmate", and "terminally ill inmate", and outlines the procedures for applying for and granting this type of parole. The bill requires the Corrections Department to identify eligible inmates and notify them of the opportunity, and sets timelines for the Department to make recommendations and for the Parole Board to make decisions. It establishes a rebuttable presumption of eligibility for certain inmates and allows for appeals of parole denials. The bill also specifies that medical and geriatric parole is in addition to any other parole for which an eligible inmate may qualify.
