Bill > HB361

This bill expands eligibility for earned sentence credits, which are deductions from a person's prison term earned through good behavior and program participation, to include time spent incarcerated while awaiting trial or pending an appeal in state or local correctional facilities, state hospitals, or juvenile detention facilities. This change, which applies retroactively to anyone in a correctional facility on July 1, 2028, aims to ensure that all time spent in confinement before a final conviction is considered when calculating these credits, with the provisions taking effect on July 1, 2028.
