This bill amends the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act to update provisions related to good time and parole eligibility for offenders. It mandates that the Department of Correctional Services recalculate the parole eligibility dates for all committed offenders incarcerated on or after July 1, 2011, by April 15, 2027, in coordination with the Board of Parole. The bill clarifies that good-time reductions apply to both tentative release dates and parole eligibility dates, ensuring that no individual is denied parole eligibility due to administrative delays in recalculation. Additionally, individuals on parole who were discharged after July 1, 2011, may request a reduction in their parole term if their eligibility would have been modified by this bill.

The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Correctional Services in developing personalized program plans for offenders, which include various treatment and educational programs. It specifies that good time reductions will be credited towards both minimum and maximum terms of incarceration, and establishes guidelines for the development of release or reentry plans to facilitate successful transitions back into the community. The legislation emphasizes the importance of mental health care for offenders and mandates that evaluations be conducted prior to release to ensure adequate treatment and monitoring. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage due to the declaration of an emergency.
