Bill > H1590

This bill establishes mandatory post-release supervision in the Commonwealth. Specifically, it amends existing laws to require that all sentences to incarceration in a house of correction, jail, or state prison include a period of post-release supervision, with some exceptions. The period of mandatory post-release supervision is set at 25% of the maximum term of incarceration imposed at sentencing, but not less than 9 months. The bill outlines the supervision and jurisdiction of the Office of the Commissioner of Probation and the Parole Board, as well as the rules and regulations governing the post-release supervision. It also provides for the early termination of the supervision and the consequences for violating the conditions of the supervision. The provisions of the bill will take effect on January 1, 2024 and apply to all felonies and misdemeanors committed on or after that date.
