HB 1476-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Revises the amount of earned release time available for certain jail inmates.

Declares that the changes to the maximum percentages of earned release time in this act do not create any expectation that the percentage of earned release time cannot be revised and offenders have no reason to conclude that the maximum percentage of earned release time is an entitlement or creates any liberty interest.

Declares that the legislature retains full control over the right to revise the percentages of earned release time available to offenders at any time.

Applies to persons convicted on or after the effective date of this act.
