The bill would amend the Government Code as it relates to the eligibility for consideration for release onto parole of certain individuals convicted of certain offenses committed when younger than 18 years of age. Under the provisions of the bill, these individuals would be eligible for consideration for release onto parole supervision when the actual time served on a sentence equals one-half of the sentence or 20 years, whichever is less, with a minimum term of confinement of four years. The bill would require the Board of Pardons and Paroles to adopt a policy as outlined in the bill for a parole panel to consider when reviewing for release on parole the individuals affected by the bill's provisions. The bill would apply to individuals confined in state correctional institutions on or after the effective date, regardless of whether the offense for which they are confined occurred before, on, or after the effective date of the Act.
