Summary

The law lets the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles consider the full circumstances of a parole violation before deciding whether to revoke parole or impose other penalties. It applies to all parolees, even for offenses that previously required automatic revocation, and allows parole reinstatement if the underlying charge is dismissed or reduced. The bill also sets procedures for parole hearings and limits confinement to 45 days or placement in a treatment center or designated county jail.
