Convicted offender earned-time allowance; may be used by State Parole Board in setting parole eligibility.

SB 2241 would allow Mississippi's State Parole Board to reduce an incarcerated person's parole eligibility date by the number of days they earned through the state's earned-time allowance program. This applies specifically to nonviolent offenders who participate in the program and have completed their sentence term (excluding those sentenced after June 30, 1995). The bill amends existing law to require the Parole Board to consider earned time when setting parole eligibility dates, starting July 1, 2025. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and does not change the existing earned-time program rules or eligibility requirements.
