Bill > S07050

This bill modifies how post-release supervision is handled when an individual commits a crime while under supervision. Specifically, the bill provides that if a person on post-release supervision (a form of supervised release after serving part of a prison sentence) is charged with a new crime that results in a new sentence, the period of post-release supervision shall be considered interrupted for the time the person was held in pre-trial detention related to that new charge. The bill amends sections of the penal law to clarify that time spent in pre-trial custody for the new criminal charge can be credited toward the new sentence, with some exceptions to prevent double-crediting of time. This change aims to provide more precise accounting of time served and supervision status when an individual on post-release supervision is charged with and sentenced for a new criminal offense. The bill applies retroactively, meaning it covers sentences imposed before, on, and after the date of enactment.
