House Bill 465 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Government Code to make an inmate serving a sentence for a continuous trafficking of persons offense that is based partly or wholly on child trafficking ineligible for release on parole. The bill makes an inmate serving a sentence for a child trafficking offense ineligible for release on parole unless the judgment in the case contains an affirmative finding that the parties to the case have entered into an agreement that the inmate will not be eligible for release on parole until a specified time, provided the inmate pled guilty to the offense.
