Bill > HB4094

This bill modifies laws related to prisoner release credits and notification to victims, primarily impacting those convicted of drug offenses. It introduces a new provision for earned release credits, allowing prisoners to earn one day off their sentence for every six days served, and clarifies that previous convictions for violent or aggravated felonies only disqualify a prisoner if the offense occurred when they were at least 18 years old. The bill also mandates that the Department of Corrections provide literacy programming and assessments to inmates upon admission and ensures victims are notified of a prisoner's earliest release date when they qualify for earned release credits. Additionally, it adjusts the eligibility criteria for certain release programs and modifies reporting requirements for the Department of Corrections regarding earned release credits and program participation.
