Parole: minimum eligible date.

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to apply all constitutionally authorized good‑behavior and rehabilitation credits to lower the minimum time a life‑sentence inmate must serve before parole eligibility. It also mandates that parole boards consider reports from probation officers, along with statements from judges, district attorneys and sheriffs, when deciding parole. The changes aim to ensure credit reductions are used and that more information informs parole hearings.
