AN ACT CONCERNING EARNED RISK REDUCTION CREDITS IN THE CASE OF SERIOUS VIOLENT OFFENSES.

HB 6390 prohibits individuals convicted of murder, persistent dangerous felonies, serious sexual offenses, or family violence crimes from earning risk reduction credits under state law. The bill amends Section 18-98e of the general statutes to explicitly remove eligibility for these credits for the specified offenses. Risk reduction credits typically reduce prison time for eligible inmates, but this bill restricts them for the most serious violent offenders. It directly affects people convicted of the listed crimes who would otherwise qualify for such credits. The law aims to ensure these high-risk offenders cannot shorten their sentences through credit accumulation.
