Overview: HD 1350, An Act establishing mandatory post release supervision in the Commonwealth, is a proposed bill introduced on November 29, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The primary goal of this bill is to establish a mandatory post-release supervision program for individuals leaving incarceration. The intent is to provide a structured transition and support system to reduce recidivism and help offenders successfully reintegrate into their communities.

Key Provisions:
- Requires all individuals released from state prisons and county jails to undergo a minimum of 6 months of post-release supervision
- Supervision to include regular check-ins, access to social services, and participation in rehabilitation programs
- Allows for early termination of supervision based on good behavior and progress
- 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.
