2018 House Bill 6353

Earmark potential parole reform savings

Introduced in the House

Sept. 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-41)

To deposit 70 percent of potential savings from adopting more lenient or enlightened parole policies to a separate state account, then distribute it to counties, which could use half the money to cover costs related to running their jail and parole programs, and half for prisoner reentry programs, juvenile justice community-based programs, state jobs programs, mental health services and substance use disorder services.

Referred to the Committee on Law and Justice
