Explanation
The bill potentially broadens parole eligibility for certain offenders
who were under 21 years of age when they committed a crime resulting
in a potential marginal savings to the Department of Correction to the
extent that additional inmates are granted parole.
House "A" strikes the underlying bill and the associated fiscal impact,
resulting in the impact described above.
Senate "A" amends the original bill, which has no effect on the fiscal
impact of the bill as amended by House "A."
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of inmates who meet the
expanded criteria and are granted parole.
