What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
