Elderly Parole Program.

Summary

The bill creates a parole review process for prisoners who are at least 50 years old and have served 20 years continuously. It narrows eligibility by excluding certain sexual offenders, life‑without‑parole sentences, and killings of peace officers, while adding stricter age and time‑served requirements for some sex‑offender convictions. The change aims to focus parole resources on older inmates whose risk of reoffending is reduced.
