What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person may be released from confinement in prison to the community on parole or under extended supervision. A person who is released to the community must comply with certain conditions relating to his or her behavior while in the community (conditions of parole or extended supervision). If a person who is released violates a condition of parole or extended supervision, the person's release may be revoked and the person must return to prison for a period of time, depending on the nature of the violation.
Under this bill, the Department of Corrections, the Parole Commission, and the Division of Hearings and Appeals may order no more than 3,000 revocations and returns to prison annually for violations of conditions of parole or extended supervision that are not crimes.
