Summary

The bill establishes a parole pathway for inmates 50 years or older who have served at least 20 years, while barring many violent and sexual offenders from eligibility. It also requires the Department of Corrections and the Board of Parole Hearings to refer certain inmates for psychiatric evaluation and possible civil commitment as sexually violent predators before they are released. The changes aim to balance public safety with a more humane parole process for aging prisoners.
