SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Conditional release of geriatric prisoners; exceptions. Prohibits persons serving a sentence imposed upon a conviction of murder in the first degree or a sexually violent offense, if the offense resulting in such conviction occurred on or after July 1, 2020, from petitioning the Parole Board for conditional release. Under current law, such persons may petition the Parole Board when such persons reach age 65 and have served at least five years of their sentence or reach age 60 and have served at least 10 years of their sentence. The prohibition does not apply to any person who is serving a life sentence for any crime other than homicide and who was under the age of 18 at the time of the commission of the offense.
