Parole Board; parole review; required release. Requires the Parole Board to release any person eligible and under consideration for and seeking parole for whom the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission has already determined, or who otherwise demonstrates, that his time served has exceeded the midpoint of the sentencing guidelines. The bill authorizes the Board to defer such release if there is substantial risk of serious criminal conduct or an inadequate release plan, in which case the Board is required to issue a reasoned decision explaining the basis for such deferral.
