HB 1778 -- 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 of all 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.  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 is specified.
