SB138

SB 138 clarifies parole eligibility rules for inmates sentenced to life imprisonment by specifying that Class A felony lifers are generally ineligible for parole (with limited exceptions), Class B felony lifers must serve 40 years before becoming eligible, and Class C felony lifers must serve 30 years before becoming eligible. The bill allows prisoners in all three categories to potentially become eligible earlier only if they meet specific criteria outlined in other parole statutes.
