Introduced by: Don L. Scott | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Department of Corrections; earned sentence credits; robbery. Specifies that any person serving a sentence on a Class 2 felony for committing robbery and causing serious bodily injury to or the death of any other person is subject to a maximum 4.5 earned sentence credits for each 30 days served. Consequently, a person serving a sentence on a robbery that is a Class 3, Class 5, or Class 6 felony is not subject to the maximum 4.5 earned sentence credits and may be eligible for the four-level classification system for the awarding and calculation of earned sentence credits to become effective on July 1, 2022. The bill requires the calculation of earned sentence credits to apply retroactively to the entire sentence of any inmate who is confined in a state correctional facility and participating in the earned sentence credit system on July 1, 2022, and was (i) convicted of robbery, as such crime was in effect prior to July 1, 2021, provided that such person, during the commission of such robbery, did not cause serious bodily injury to or the death of another person or (ii) convicted of robbery punishable as a Class 3, Class 5, or Class 6 felony on or after July 1, 2021.
