Bill > HB0306

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections, specifically Section 3-14-2, to provide more detailed guidance on parole and mandatory supervised release supervision. The bill requires the Department of Corrections to retain custody and supervise individuals on parole or mandatory supervised release, with the Prisoner Review Board setting individualized conditions based on a comprehensive assessment of the person's risk, needs, program participation, and behavior history. The bill emphasizes that conditions should be reasonably necessary to protect public safety while considering the individual's work, education, family, and other obligations. It clarifies circumstances requiring parole violation warrants, such as committing felonies, failing to comply with sex offender registration, or being charged with specific domestic violence or stalking offenses. The bill also mandates that supervising officers regularly advise parolees, help them adjust to community life, and conduct case reviews every six months to assess progress and potential early discharge eligibility. These changes aim to create a more individualized, supportive, and structured approach to parole and mandatory supervised release supervision.
