What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill changes the way that time remaining on a prisoner's sentence is calculated after the prisoner is returned to prison following revocation of his or her parole or extended supervision. Under this bill, if a person is returned to prison after his or her parole or extended supervision is revoked, the remainder of his or her sentence equals the length of the original sentence minus the amount of time he or she served in prison and minus the amount of time he or she served on parole or under extended supervision prior to the revocation. This bill replaces the current procedure for calculating time, under which the time remaining on a prisoner's sentence equals the length of the original sentence minus the amount of time he or she served confined in prison.
