The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate the structure, function, and authority of the Board of Parole in Nebraska. The study aims to address several key areas, including the qualifications and composition of board members, the appointment process and term lengths, the criteria and procedures for parole hearings, and the board's administrative independence and capacity to handle increasing demands. Additionally, it seeks to analyze models from other states that have successfully restructured their parole boards to enhance outcomes and reduce disparities in parole decisions, as well as to assess the impact of the Board of Parole's decisions on prison populations, public safety, and reentry outcomes.

The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study and is encouraged to engage with a variety of stakeholders, including formerly incarcerated individuals, criminal justice reform advocates, law enforcement, and victims' advocacy organizations. Upon completion of the study, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
