Summary

The bill lets the Board of Pardons and Paroles consider the total circumstances of a parole violation and choose from a range of penalties, rather than automatically revoking parole for certain offenses. It creates a new parole revocation hearing officer, outlines specific confinement caps, and allows parolees to have a hearing and certain rights before sanctions are imposed. The changes aim to make parole decisions more individualized while setting clear procedural safeguards.
