RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 103 (HB 338) 2020 Regular Session Duplessis
Existing law requires the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections to ensure that every offender
is interviewed and explained the rules with respect to release on parole and to secure all
relevant data and assist the offender in formulating a parole plan.
Whenever the committee orders a parole hearing to be held, existing law requires the Dept.
of Public Safety and Corrections to secure a report with respect to the personality of the
offender, his social history, his adjustment to authority, and his prison record, and may
include any recommendation with reference to the release of the offender on parole.
New law retains existing law and adds information regarding the physical, mental, or
psychiatric condition of the offender, when available, to the list of information included in
the report secured by the department.
Effective Aug. 1, 2020.
