 1-2     relating to the completion of a sentence in a felony after
 1-3     revocation of parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional pardon
 1-4     and to the restoration of forfeited good conduct time.
 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1. Section 508.283, Government Code, is amended to
 1-7     read as follows:
 1-8           Sec. 508.283.  SANCTIONS. (a)  After a parole panel or
 1-9     designated agent of the board has held a hearing under Section
1-10     508.281, the board may, in any manner warranted by the evidence:
1-11                 (1)  recommend to the governor to continue, revoke, or
1-12     modify the conditional pardon; or
1-13                 (2)  continue, revoke, or modify the parole or
1-14     mandatory supervision.
1-15           (b)  If the [a person's] parole, mandatory supervision, or
1-16     conditional pardon of a person described by Section 508.149(a) is
1-17     revoked, the person may be required to serve the remaining portion
1-18     of the sentence on which the person was released.  The remaining
1-19     portion is computed without credit for the time from the date of
1-20     the person's release to the date of revocation.
1-21           (c)  If the parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional
1-22     pardon of a person other than a person described by Section
1-23     508.149(a) is revoked, the person may be required to serve the
1-24     remaining portion of the sentence on which the person was released.
 2-1     For a person who on the date of issuance of a warrant or summons
 2-2     initiating the revocation process is subject to a sentence the
 2-3     remaining portion of which is greater than the amount of time from
 2-4     the date of the person's release to the date of issuance of the
 2-5     warrant or summons, the remaining portion is to be served without
 2-6     credit for the time from the date of the person's release to the
 2-7     date of revocation.  For a person who on the date of issuance of
 2-8     the warrant or summons is subject to a sentence the remaining
 2-9     portion of which is less than the amount of time from the date of
2-10     the person's release to the date of issuance of the warrant or
2-11     summons, the remaining portion is to be served without credit for
2-12     an amount of time equal to the remaining portion of the sentence on
2-13     the date of issuance of the warrant or citation.
2-14           (d)  If a warrant is issued charging a violation of a release
2-15     condition or a summons is issued for a hearing under Section
2-16     508.281, the sentence time credit may be suspended until a
2-17     determination is made in the case.  The suspended time credit may
2-18     be reinstated if the parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional
2-19     pardon is continued.
2-20           SECTION 2. Section 498.004, Government Code, as amended by
2-21     Chapters 249 and 321, Acts of the 74th Legislature, Regular
2-22     Session, 1995, is reenacted and amended to read as follows:
2-23           Sec. 498.004.  FORFEITURE AND RESTORATION OF GOOD CONDUCT
2-24     TIME. (a) If, during the actual term of imprisonment of an inmate
2-25     in the institutional division or in a transfer facility, the inmate
2-26     commits an offense or violates a rule of the division, the
2-27     department may forfeit all or any part of the inmate's accrued good
 3-1     conduct time.  The department may [not] restore good conduct time
 3-2     forfeited under this subsection.
 3-3           (b)  On the revocation of parole or mandatory supervision of
 3-4     an inmate, the inmate forfeits all good conduct time previously
 3-5     accrued.  On return to the institutional division the inmate may
 3-6     accrue new good conduct time for subsequent time served in the
 3-7     division.  The department may [not] restore good conduct time
 3-8     forfeited on a revocation.
 3-9           SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2001, and
3-10     applies to any revocation that occurs on or after that date.
