Bill > HB1119

This bill amends the existing law regarding supervision compliance credit for offenders supervised by the department, primarily focusing on how and when offenders can earn credits that may reduce their supervision time. The bill clarifies that offenders can earn 10 days of supervision compliance credit per month by remaining in compliance with their supervision terms, and requires the department to publish the procedures for earning these credits on their website. Importantly, the bill adds a new provision stating that offenders will lose their ability to earn supervision compliance credits if they are sanctioned by a court for noncompliance with community custody requirements. The bill also refines the list of offenders who are not eligible to earn these credits, which includes those sentenced for certain serious crimes, those on specific sentencing alternatives, those subject to certain types of supervision, those with a governor's conditional commutation, those with indeterminate sentences under parole, and those serving community custody under early release. The changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for earning supervision compliance credits and to incentivize good behavior during supervised release.
