Modifies provisions relating to eligibility for parole

Summary

The bill adds a new parole eligibility rule for people serving life without parole (or life with a 50‑year no‑parole period) who were convicted of killing a spouse, domestic partner, or similar abuser and who themselves were victims of ongoing domestic violence or trafficking. To qualify, they must have no prior violent felonies and must show evidence of the abuse. The parole board would review each case and could grant parole after the lesser of five years or one‑third of the sentence, using specific criteria.
