HB1004 changes how South Dakota calculates the dates when prisoners become eligible for parole by revising the current parole date calculation rules. The bill adjusts which time periods count toward a prisoner's sentence reduction, potentially affecting when inmates can be considered for release. The specific changes to the calculation method will determine whether some prisoners become parole-eligible sooner or later than under current law.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
