In plain language

This bill allows early parole for youthful offenders who complete a specialized program.

The bill enables the state board of parole to approve early parole applications for offenders who successfully finish a specialized program. Offenders must have committed certain felonies before age 21, and if the governor does not act on the board's recommendation within 60 days, the board's decision stands.

What this means for you
  • Workers: This may impact workers as it relates to the rehabilitation and reintegration of youthful offenders into society.

Summary

The act adds the state board of parole as an entity that may approve an application for early parole for an offender who has successfully completed a specialized program as provided in current law. The offender must have been convicted of a certain predicate felony and committed the felony when they were younger than 21 years old.     The state board of parole can approve or deny the application if the governor has not acted on the application within 60 days after receiving the board's recommendation. If the governor acts on the application within 60 days, the governor's decision is final. If the governor does not act on the application, the state board of parole's decision is final.     Under current law, there is a specialized program for juveniles and young adults convicted as adults that must include components that allow an offender to experience placement with more independence in daily life. The act requires the specialized program to include programming that requires an offender to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and the ongoing trauma that crime survivors experience, as well as the offender's own trauma.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
