The bill amends section 47-502 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to sentence reductions for good behavior in jails. It establishes that any individual sentenced to or confined in a city or county jail, including those serving custodial sanctions for parole or probation violations, will have their remaining term reduced by one day for each day of good behavior after the fifteenth day of confinement. The new language specifies that this reduction applies to the aggregate of the remaining term, including all consecutive sentences received, regardless of whether they were imposed simultaneously or at different times.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 47-502, thereby updating the legal framework governing sentence reductions for good behavior in Nebraska jails. The changes aim to clarify the conditions under which sentence reductions are granted, ensuring that all consecutive sentences are considered in the calculation of good behavior credits.
