Session of 2023
HOUSE BILL No. 2069
By Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice
1-18
AN ACT concerning crimes, punishment and criminal procedure; relating
to postrelease supervision; providing that such term does not toll except
as provided by law; amending K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 and
repealing the existing section.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 22-3722. (a) The period served on parole or conditional release
shall be deemed service of the term of confinement, and, subject to the
provisions contained in K.S.A. 75-5217, and amendments thereto, relating
to an inmate who is a fugitive from or has fled from justice, the total time
served may not exceed the maximum term or sentence. The period served
on postrelease supervision shall vest in and be subject to the provisions
contained in K.S.A. 75-5217, and amendments thereto, relating to an
inmate who is a fugitive from or has fled from justice. The service of the
postrelease supervision period shall not toll except as provided by K.S.A.
75-5217, and amendments thereto. The total time served shall not exceed
the postrelease supervision period established at sentencing.
(b) When an inmate on parole or conditional release has performed
the obligations of the release for such time as shall satisfy the prisoner
review board that final release is not incompatible with the best interest of
society and the welfare of the individual, the board may make a final order
of discharge and issue a certificate of discharge to the inmate but no such
order of discharge shall be made in any case within a period of less than
one year after the date of release except where the sentence expires earlier
thereto. When an inmate has reached the end of the postrelease supervision
period, the board shall issue a certificate of discharge to the releasee. Such
discharge, and the discharge of an inmate who has served the inmate's term
of imprisonment, shall have the effect of restoring all civil rights lost by
operation of law upon commitment, and the certification of discharge shall
so state. Nothing herein contained shall be held to impair the power of the
governor to grant a pardon or commutation of sentence in any case.
Sec. 2. K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 22-3722 is hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
