1 Section 1. Section 83-1,110, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska,
2 is amended to read:
3 83-1,110 (1) Every committed offender shall be eligible for parole
4 when the offender has served one-half the minimum term of his or her
5 sentence as provided in sections 83-1,107 and 83-1,108 or two years prior
6 to the offender's mandatory discharge date, whichever is earlier. The
7 board shall conduct a parole review not later than sixty days prior to
8 the date a committed offender becomes eligible for parole as provided in
9 this subsection, except that if a committed offender is eligible for
10 parole upon his or her commitment to the department, a parole review
11 shall occur as early as is practical. No such reduction of sentence shall
12 be applied to any sentence imposing a mandatory minimum term.
13 (2) Every committed offender sentenced to consecutive terms, whether
14 received at the same time or at any time during the original sentence,
15 shall be eligible for release on parole when the offender has served the
16 total of one-half the minimum term as provided in sections 83-1,107 and
17 83-1,108 or two years prior to the offender's mandatory discharge date,
18 whichever is earlier. The maximum terms shall be added to compute the new
19 maximum term which, less good time, shall determine the date when
20 discharge from the custody of the state becomes mandatory.
21 Sec. 2. Original section 83-1,110, Reissue Revised Statutes of
22 Nebraska, is repealed.
