A 3322 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires administrative review for purposes of parole discharge of certain parolees sentenced to life imprisonment.

This bill requires the New Jersey Parole Board to automatically review, within 60 days of the law's effective date, every parolee sentenced to life imprisonment who is currently on parole and has served at least seven years of parole supervision with advanced supervision status for the prior two years. The review will determine if the parolee should be discharged from parole supervision, ending their state supervision. Currently, such reviews only occur if a parole officer recommends them, but this bill mandates the review for all qualifying parolees without requiring a recommendation. The bill does not change the criteria for discharge (such as satisfactory adjustment or payment of fines), only the process of initiating the review.
