Before the 2019 Legislative Session, former existing law authorized: (1) the State Board of Parole Commissioners, upon the recommendation of the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety, to petition the court of original jurisdiction to modify the sentence of a person if the person had served one-half of the period of parole or, if the person was sentenced to life imprisonment, the person had served 10 consecutive years on parole; and (2) the court of original jurisdiction to modify the sentence of the person by reducing the maximum term of imprisonment, thereby resulting in the expiration of the sentence of the person and the termination of his or her parole. During the 2019 Legislative Session, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill No. 236, which removed those provisions. (Chapter 633, Statutes of Nevada 2019, at page 4382) Section 1 of this bill restores those provisions by reenacting them. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to indicate the proper placement of section 1 in the Nevada Revised Statutes. Section 3 of this bill clarifies that the changes in this bill apply to offenses committed before, on or after July 1, 2023, the effective date of this bill.
