Bill overview
This bill prohibits the loss of inmate commutation credits for minor disciplinary infractions and expands an inmate’s ability to restore certain forfeited credits. It establishes a process for restoring credits lost due to disciplinary charges, allowing for up to 100% restoration over a two-year period if the inmate remains free of serious disciplinary issues. Certain types of forfeitures, such as those related to frivolous lawsuits or failure to participate in sex offender treatment, are excluded from restoration. The bill also outlines procedures for restoring credits for inmates in various programs, including residential community release and interstate services.
