Bill > HB1057

This bill establishes "The Parole Advancement and Reintegration Act," which requires the Tennessee Department of Correction to develop an early parole termination program for parolees who meet specific criteria. To be eligible, parolees must have maintained stable employment for at least six consecutive months, remained law-abiding without any violations or arrests, and completed all rehabilitation and treatment programs mandated by the court and department. The program will include an earned time credit system similar to sentence reduction credits for inmates, with a goal of gradually reducing supervision and potentially discharging parolees from parole after five years. Parolees will be assessed twice annually for program eligibility, and the program will establish criteria for early termination of parole, which can be approved by the director of probation and parole. The Department of Correction is authorized to create rules to implement this act, which will be developed in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, and the bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
