What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current administrative rules, the Department of Corrections (DOC) may
authorize a person on extended supervision, parole, or probation to temporarily
travel out of the state within the United States if the person has submitted a written
request and has received written authorization prior to the travel. The current
administrative rules allow such persons to travel out of the United States only as
authorized by the sentencing court or upon verification of official military orders.
This bill allows DOC to also authorize a person on extended supervision, parole, or
probation to travel out of the United States under certain circumstances if the person
submits a written request and receives written authorization prior to the travel.
