What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
