To clarify when inmates may receive “good time” or time served
HB 2207 clarifies that inmates serving life sentences or convicted of specific offenses - including crimes against the person, sexual offenses, child abuse, or human trafficking - are ineligible for "good time" (time off their sentence for good conduct). Instead, these inmates must complete one year of mandatory post-release supervision with electronic or GPS monitoring after reaching their calculated release date. The bill applies to all such offenders, including those already incarcerated, and does not affect good time eligibility for other inmates convicted of different offenses.
