This bill amends Chapter 1, Title 20 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 20-101E, which establishes provisions for awarding rehabilitation achievements and credits that can lead to a reduction of sentences for individuals convicted of offenses against the state. The bill allows eligible individuals, sentenced to a term other than life or death after July 1, 1986, to earn credits based on prosocial behavior, rehabilitation achievements, and educational accomplishments. Specific credits are outlined, such as up to 10 days per month for maintaining good behavior, and varying credits for participation in treatment programs, educational achievements, and job skills training.

Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals convicted of certain serious crimes, such as crimes against children and murder, are ineligible for these credits. It also includes provisions for the forfeiture of credits due to misconduct and outlines the process for restoring credits. The department is tasked with maintaining a list of approved programs and making information about modified sentence satisfaction dates available. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes a declaration of emergency to expedite its implementation.
