A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the eligibility of certain inmates for release to 
mandatory supervision.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 508.149(b), Government Code, is amended 
to read as follows:
	(b)  An inmate may not be released to mandatory supervision 
if a parole panel determines that:
		(1)  under the parole guidelines established under 
Section 508.144, the inmate has a poor probability for successful 
completion of supervision, as measured by a parole guideline score 
of 1, 2, or 3 or an equivalent score under a successor guideline 
grading system;
		(2)  the inmate's accrued good conduct time is not an 
accurate reflection of the inmate's potential for rehabilitation; 
and
		(3) [(2)]  the inmate's release would endanger the 
public.
	SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2003, and 
applies to any inmate who is eligible for release to mandatory 
supervision under Section 508.147, Government Code, on or after 
that date.
