MS Earned Parole Eligibility Act of 2021; remove repealer on.
HB 1610 removes an automatic expiration date from Mississippi's 2021 Earned Parole Eligibility Act, ensuring the existing parole rules remain in effect. This bill does not change parole eligibility requirements (such as the 25% or 50% sentence served for nonviolent or violent offenses) but prevents the law from ending on its own. It directly affects Mississippi inmates currently subject to these parole standards under Section 47-7-3 of state code. The bill is procedural, preserving the current framework without altering policy.
