S 4492 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Modifies procedures for parole release, early discharge from parole, and penalties for certain parole violations.

This bill updates New Jersey's parole system by clarifying when incarcerated individuals can be released and how future release dates are determined. It requires the parole board to provide specific reasons for denying parole, including evidence for subjective decisions, and mandates that denied parolees be given a scheduled date for their next hearing. Additionally, the bill adjusts how future eligibility dates are calculated by considering the severity of the offense and the offender's history, while also outlining stricter conditions for issuing arrest warrants for parole violations.
