This bill mandates an administrative review by the State Parole Board (SPB) for certain parolees sentenced to life imprisonment who are currently on parole. Specifically, it requires that within 60 days of the bill's effective date, each eligible parolee must be reviewed for potential discharge from parole if they have served at least seven years of their parole supervision and have been under advanced supervision status for the preceding two years. This review process aims to streamline the discharge process for these parolees, ensuring that they are evaluated for discharge based on their compliance and adjustment during their parole period.

The bill also amends existing law regarding the conditions under which parolees may be discharged from parole. It clarifies that the appropriate board panel can grant a complete discharge prior to the expiration of the maximum term if the parolee has made a satisfactory adjustment while on parole, does not require continued supervision, and has fulfilled any financial obligations such as fines or restitution. This change aims to enhance the efficiency of the parole discharge process for life-sentenced individuals who demonstrate good behavior and compliance with parole conditions.
