Requires parole representative to accompany incarcerated person during proceedings under certain circumstances; expands procedures for disclosure of certain confidential materials to parolee.

This bill requires parole representatives to accompany incarcerated individuals during parole proceedings when requested. It expands access to certain confidential materials by mandating that parole boards note when documents are removed as confidential and disclose in written notices if such materials played a role in parole denial decisions. The bill also requires courts to review confidential materials in camera during appeals if they were cited as a reason for parole denial. These changes apply to individuals in New Jersey's correctional facilities facing parole consideration. The bill implements recommendations from the Office of the Public Defender Parole Project to improve transparency in parole proceedings.
