Bill Summary
Conditional release of geriatric prisoners. Expands the list of offenses that prohibit a person from petitioning the Parole Board for conditional release as a geriatric prisoner.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the conditions under which geriatric prisoners can petition the Parole Board for conditional release, which is a form of early release from prison. Specifically, it expands the list of felony offenses that make a prisoner ineligible for this conditional release, meaning more individuals will be excluded from this pathway to early release. The bill also clarifies that those who are eligible but have committed certain serious offenses will only be reviewed for conditional release every ten years. The Parole Board is required to create regulations to put these changes into effect.
