The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to the prosecution, punishment, and supervision of certain offenders involving injury to a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual. Under the provisions of the bill, certain inmates incarcerated for injuring a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual would be ineligible for release on parole until the inmate's actual calendar time served plus good conduct time equals half of the sentence imposed or 20 years, whichever is less.
