Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 15:574.4(A)(1)(a), (2), (3), (4)(introductory paragraph), (5)(a)(introductory paragraph), and (6)(a)(introductory paragraph) and (B)(1) and (2)(introductory paragraph) and to enact R.S. 15:574.22, relative to parole; to provide relative to parole eligibility; to provide for the restriction of parole eligibility; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill amends and reenacts several provisions of Louisiana law related to parole eligibility. The key provisions are: 1. It restricts parole eligibility for certain offenses, including crimes of violence, sex offenses, and fourth or subsequent non-violent felony offenses, for offenses committed on or after August 1, 2024. These offenders will not be eligible for parole under the general provisions but may still be eligible under more specific exceptions. 2. It maintains the existing parole eligibility requirements for offenders serving life sentences, including the requirement to serve at least 65% of the sentence for certain violent offenses. 3. It enacts a new section (R.S. 15:574.22) that generally restricts parole eligibility for offenses committed on or after August 1, 2024, except for certain exceptions outlined in the law. The overall effect of the bill is to make it more difficult for certain offenders to be eligible for parole, with the goal of restricting parole access for those convicted of more serious crimes.
