Summary

The bill changes the Elderly Parole Program so only inmates who are at least 60 years old and have served 25 years of continuous incarceration can be considered for parole. It also requires the Board of Parole Hearings to look at crime‑scene, autopsy, and weapon photographs when deciding parole for life‑sentence prisoners. The measure passed the Senate and is now headed to the Appropriations Committee.
