Establishes limits on future parole eligibility date.
This bill limits how long an inmate can wait for a future parole hearing after being denied parole at their initial eligibility date. It requires the parole board to set a future parole eligibility date within three years of the denial, with no exceptions for extending this period beyond three years. The bill clarifies that sentence reductions for good behavior do not shorten this three-year waiting period, though the board may adjust the date under specific legal provisions. Inmates will be released at the new hearing date unless evidence shows they failed to cooperate with rehabilitation programs or pose a risk of violating parole conditions.
