Provides relative to parole eligibility
Current law provides that persons committed to the Department of Public Safety & Corrections - Corrections Services
(DPS&C) for a term or terms of imprisonment with or without the benefit of parole for 30 years or more shall be eligible for
parole consideration upon serving at least 20 years of the term or terms of imprisonment in actual custody and upon
reaching the age of 45. Current law does not apply to a person serving a life sentence unless such sentence has been
commuted to a fixed term of years and does not apply to any person who has been convicted of a crime of violence or a sex
offense when the offense was committed on or after August 1, 2014.
Proposed law provides that current law does not apply to any person who has been convicted of an offense that is both a
crime of violence and a sex offense when the offense was committed on or after January 1, 1997.
