AI Summary

This bill mandates that electronic recordings be made of certain parole board hearings, specifically full parole board hearings, revocation hearings, and post-release control violation hearings, and makes these recordings public records, with exceptions for personally identifying information of victims or their families. It also grants prosecuting attorneys access to health care records from the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for specific parole and judicial release cases, particularly when an inmate's medical condition is relevant to their release consideration. The bill amends existing laws regarding public records and parole board procedures, and repeals the previous versions of these sections.
