Bill > HB0110

This bill modifies existing laws concerning offenders, primarily by expanding the types of misdemeanors that the Division of Corrections can be ordered to supervise, specifically allowing supervision of class B misdemeanors under certain conditions related to prior convictions and homelessness, and by establishing new timelines for considering pardons for sex offenders, requiring 10 years to pass for those registered for a decade and 20 years for those registered for life, with exceptions for convictions that have been overturned or for individuals proven innocent. Additionally, the bill adjusts parole eligibility for certain offenders, including those convicted of violent crimes against children, and clarifies the process for expunging criminal records by specifying when certain convictions, particularly those involving sex offenses, will prevent expungement. The bill also makes technical amendments to various sections related to the Board of Pardons and Parole's authority, including their ability to grant pardons, commute sentences, and manage offender accounts, and it sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
