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 at least 130 verifiable wage-earning hours within a thirty-day period. The act outlines the requirements for documentation of employment, the verification process by community supervision officers, and the conditions under which credits can be forfeited, such as in cases of revocation of supervision or fraudulent documentation.

Additionally, the act includes an emergency clause, emphasizing the urgency of reducing recidivism and enhancing public safety through incentivizing employment for supervised offenders. The legislation is designed to take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or under specific conditions if not acted upon. Overall, the act seeks to promote rehabilitation and reintegration into society for individuals under supervision by providing them with tangible incentives for maintaining employment.
