signed by Governor (Acts Ch. 14)
Summary
The bill expands Kentucky’s definition of a violent offender to include a long list of serious crimes and requires those offenders to serve at least 30 years before being eligible for parole or probation, or 85 % of any term of years. It also directs the parole board to place most inmates who are not granted discretionary parole into mandatory re‑entry supervision six months before release, with specific exceptions. The changes aim to keep high‑risk offenders in custody longer and provide structured supervision after release.
