What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to adopt evidence-based

criteria for determining when to modify a sentence confining a person who has an

extraordinary health condition.

The bill also requests the Legislative Audit Bureau to perform a financial and

performance evaluation audit of modification by the Department of Corrections of

sentences for inmates with extraordinary health conditions. If the bureau performs

the audit, it must file its report by July 1, 2017.
