Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 15:574.7(C)(2)(b) and to enact R.S. 15:574.7(C)(2)(c), relative to parole violations; to provide for the placement of parolees in certain programs as an alternative to revocation of parole; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Louisiana law regarding parole violations by allowing for alternative sanctions instead of immediate revocation of parole. Specifically, it expands the options for parolees who violate their parole conditions, permitting them to be placed in programs such as community rehabilitation centers, substance abuse treatment programs, mental health treatment programs, or certified treatment and rehabilitation programs for up to one year, without earning good time credit, as long as this commitment does not extend their overall parole period. If a parolee violates the rules of these alternative programs, their parole can then be revoked, with credit given for time spent in the program.
