Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2328 by Wu (Relating to the medical release of certain terminally ill defendants and inmates.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
The bill would define "terminally ill" for purposes of the medical release of certain defendants and inmates as having an incurable illness or condition that is expected to result in death within one year regardless of life-sustaining treatment.
It is assumed that any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
