| 4 | 4 | | 1-18 |
|---|
| 5 | 5 | | AN ACT concerning crimes, punishment and criminal procedure; relating |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | to postrelease supervision; providing that such term does not toll except |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | as provided by law; amending K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 and |

| 8 | 8 | | repealing the existing section. |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas: |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | Section 1. K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 is hereby amended to read as |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | follows: 22-3722. (a) The period served on parole or conditional release |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | shall be deemed service of the term of confinement, and, subject to the |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | provisions contained in K.S.A. 75-5217, and amendments thereto, relating |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | to an inmate who is a fugitive from or has fled from justice, the total time |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | served may not exceed the maximum term or sentence. The period served |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | on postrelease supervision shall vest in and be subject to the provisions |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | contained in K.S.A. 75-5217, and amendments thereto, relating to an |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | inmate who is a fugitive from or has fled from justice. The service of the |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | postrelease supervision period shall not toll except as provided by K.S.A. |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | 75-5217, and amendments thereto. The total time served shall not exceed |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | the postrelease supervision period established at sentencing. |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | (b) When an inmate on parole or conditional release has performed |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | the obligations of the release for such time as shall satisfy the prisoner |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | review board that final release is not incompatible with the best interest of |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | society and the welfare of the individual, the board may make a final order |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | of discharge and issue a certificate of discharge to the inmate but no such |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | order of discharge shall be made in any case within a period of less than |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | one year after the date of release except where the sentence expires earlier |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | thereto. When an inmate has reached the end of the postrelease supervision |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | period, the board shall issue a certificate of discharge to the releasee. Such |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | discharge, and the discharge of an inmate who has served the inmate's term |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | of imprisonment, shall have the effect of restoring all civil rights lost by |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | operation of law upon commitment, and the certification of discharge shall |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | so state. Nothing herein contained shall be held to impair the power of the |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | governor to grant a pardon or commutation of sentence in any case. |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | Sec. 2. K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 is hereby repealed. |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | publication in the statute book. |
