HB 2661 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 2ND SUB)

Finds that some offenders, often known as escapees or fugitives, willfully discontinue to make themselves available to the department of corrections for supervision by making their whereabouts unknown or by failing to maintain contact with the department as required by their community custody officers.

Directs the department of corrections to disseminate to the public a list of all persons deemed escapees or fugitives from the department through the department's available web site. On the web site, the department shall post the name, photograph, and a brief description of each unapprehended convicted felon who has escaped the department's community supervision. The web site must also include a contact phone number for citizens with information leading to the whereabouts of such individuals.
