AI Summary

This bill creates a new section in the law to establish a productivity credit system for eligible prisoners. Prisoners who are sentenced on or after the effective date of the bill can earn productivity credits for enrolling in and completing certain programs, such as educational or vocational programs, or other programs approved by the Department of Corrections. These earned credits can be deducted from a prisoner's minimum and maximum sentence to determine their parole eligibility and discharge dates. The bill outlines the specific criteria and limitations for earning these productivity credits, including restrictions for prisoners deemed high-risk or housed in maximum-security units. The Department of Corrections is required to promulgate rules to implement the minimum standards and procedures for awarding these credits.
