Bill > SB1785

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections to modify how mandatory supervised release (MSR) works for individuals under supervision after being released from prison. Specifically, the bill introduces a new system of supervision credits where a person serving an MSR term will automatically receive one day of credit for each day they successfully complete on supervision. These credits will directly reduce the total length of their mandatory supervised release period. Additionally, the bill gives the Prisoner Review Board the power to extend a person's MSR term if they violate any conditions of their release by revoking the supervision credits they have already earned. This means that if an individual commits a violation during their supervised release, they could potentially lose the credits they've accumulated and be required to serve additional time under supervision. The bill aims to provide an incentive for good behavior during mandatory supervised release while maintaining the board's ability to enforce compliance with release conditions.
