The proposed legislation, titled the "Earning Safe Reentry Through Work Act," aims to establish a sentence credit program that allows individuals on probation, parole, or post-release supervision to earn time credits through eligible employment. Under this act, a "supervised offender" can accrue work-for-time credits by maintaining verifiable employment for at least 130 hours within a 30-day period. The act outlines the responsibilities of community supervision officers in verifying employment and recording the accrual of credits, as well as the conditions under which credits may be forfeited, such as revocation of supervision or new criminal convictions.

Additionally, the act includes an emergency clause, emphasizing the urgency of the legislation in addressing recidivism and enhancing public safety. It asserts that incentivizing employment for supervised offenders is crucial for reducing the risk of reoffending and ensuring effective supervision services. The act will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or under specific conditions if not acted upon.
