SB 5990: Supervision of offenders

Changing times and supervision standards for release of offenders.

Summary

  • Changes the amount of earned release time certain offenders may earn.
  • Changes the manner in which the Department of Corrections (DOC) must supervise offenders in the community.
  • Moves up the effective date of drug sentencing changes enacted during the 2002 Legislative Session from July 1, 2004 to July 1, 2003.
  • Changes the way in which savings from the drug sentencing changes are calculated and utilized.
  • Authorizes the county clerks to collect unpaid legal financial obligations at any time the offender remains under the jurisdiction of the court for purposes of his or her legal financial obligations. The DOC must supervise the collection of legal financial obligations only while an offender is incarcerated or while the DOC is authorized to supervise the offender in the community.
  • Relieves the state and local counties from liability for the acts of an offender who is not under supervision by the DOC, but remains under the jurisdiction of the court for payment of legal financial obligations.
