SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Parole Board. Allows the Parole Board to be composed of up to five members (currently, it is five members), requires that the Chairman be a full-time state employee, and allows the Governor to designate no more than two other members as full-time state employees. The other members, if any, are part-time state employees. The bill also requires the Board to notify the attorney for the Commonwealth of the sentencing jurisdiction by certified mail at least 21 business days prior to release on parole of any inmate convicted of a felony and sentenced to a term of 10 or more years, and to endeavor diligently to contact the victim prior to making any decision to release any inmate on discretionary parole. However, in the case of parole granted for medical reasons, where death is imminent, the attorney for the Commonwealth may be notified by telephone or other electronic means prior to release.
