Parolees who participate in faith-based or faith-based sponsored activities; authorize reduction of time spent on probation.

HB 28 allows Mississippi offenders on probation or parole to earn up to 30 days off their supervision term for every 30 days participating in approved faith-based or faith-based sponsored activities. It directly affects individuals under the state's probation, parole, or intensive supervision programs who complete qualifying faith-based activities. To qualify, offenders must provide monthly verification from a faith organization's leader, and credits will be applied within 30 days of the reporting month. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and adds this pathway to the existing earned-discharge program without changing eligibility for other credit types.
