Moreno HB No. 751
Abstract: Amends eligibility requirements for the restoration of forfeited good time.
Present law provides that Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections may promulgate rules and
regulations regarding the restoration of previously forfeited good time for disciplinary violations
or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date.
Present law provides that in order to be eligible for restoration of good time or credits toward the
reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date which has been previously forfeited,
the inmate shall not have been found guilty of any disciplinary violation for a consecutive 24-
month period.
Proposed law changes present law from disciplinary action to rule violations and divides the
violations into major or minor rule violations.
Proposed law provides that in order to be eligible for restoration of good time, the inmate shall
not have been found guilty of a major rule violation for a consecutive 24-month period and a
minor rule violation for a consecutive six-month period.
