HB 588 -- Board of Probation and Parole

Sponsor:  Talboy

This bill requires the Board of Probation and Parole within the
Department of Corrections to thoroughly review every three years
the case history and prison record of certain offenders
incarcerated in a correctional institution with a sentence that
includes 50 years or life with no possibility for parole.  After
the review, the board will report to the Governor with a
recommendation to grant or deny executive clemency.  A copy of
the report is also to be given to the offender.  Offenders who
are released will remain under the supervision of the board for
as long as the board deems necessary.

The criteria to be used by the board when conducting its review
and making a recommendation are specified.
