- Establishes new state-level oversight and monitoring of the post-release supervision program
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Individuals leaving incarceration will be required to participate in the post-release supervision program
- Parole and probation officers will have expanded caseloads and responsibilities
- State and local governments will need to allocate additional funding for supervision, services, and program administration
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill is currently in the proposed stage and has been referred to the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security for further consideration. If passed, the post-release supervision program would need to be implemented within 12 months of the bill's effective date.
