HB 1757 -- Duties of the Board of Probation and Parole

Sponsor:  Burnett

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 of 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.  An offender who
is 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.
