| IN RE: |
HB213 by Moody (Relating to the release on parole of certain inmates convicted of an offense committed when younger than 18 years of age; changing parole eligibility.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would make changes relating to the eligibility for release on parole for individuals convicted of certain offenses committed when younger than 18 years of age. The bill would require the Board of Pardons and Paroles to adopt a policy establishing factors for a parole panel to consider when reviewing for release on parole an inmate who was younger than 18 years of age at the time the offense for which the inmate is eligible for release on parole was committed. The bill would apply to individuals confined in state correctional institutions on or after the bill's effective date, regardless of whether the offense for which they are confined occurred before, on, or after the effective date.
It is assumed any fiscal impact and any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
