This bill amends section 28-105 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, specifically addressing the penalties associated with Class III and IIIA felonies. The proposed changes remove the minimum period of post-release supervision previously required for these classes of felonies. Under the new language, individuals convicted of Class III felonies will face a maximum of four years imprisonment with no mandatory post-release supervision, as opposed to the previous requirement of two years. Similarly, for Class IIIA felonies, the maximum imprisonment remains three years, but the post-release supervision requirement is eliminated.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 28-105, effectively replacing it with the updated provisions. This legislative change aims to provide more flexibility in sentencing for Class III and IIIA felonies by removing the minimum post-release supervision period, which may impact the overall approach to rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders into society.
