CRIMINAL/PROCEDURE: Provides relative to temporary release of inmates for limited purposes (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

Summary

The bill lets the state secretary temporarily release inmates—except those sentenced to death—when they need palliative or intensive medical care. Release is permitted if a terminal illness is expected to cause death within 60 to 120 days, or if the inmate must stay in a hospital or nursing home because they cannot move, such as being in a coma or on a ventilator. This provides a humane option for seriously ill prisoners.
