Overview: HB 6390, AN ACT CONCERNING EARNED RISK REDUCTION CREDITS IN THE CASE OF SERIOUS VIOLENT OFFENSES, was introduced on January 23, 2025 and referred to the Joint Committee on Judiciary.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to address concerns about the use of earned risk reduction credits for individuals convicted of serious violent offenses. The goal is to ensure public safety and accountability for the most serious crimes.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits the use of earned risk reduction credits for individuals convicted of:
- Murder
- Felony murder
- Kidnapping in the first degree
- Arson murder
- Aggravated sexual assault in the first degree
- Requires the Department of Correction to develop a risk reduction earned credit program that excludes these serious violent offenses.
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would impact incarcerated individuals convicted of the specified serious violent offenses, as they would no longer be eligible for earned risk reduction credits. This could result in longer sentences for these offenders.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Joint Committee on Judiciary for further consideration. The committee will review the bill and make a recommendation on its passage.
