SB64 expands the list of serious crimes that affect when inmates become eligible for parole, adding offenses like terrorism, aggravated kidnapping in the second degree, first degree murder, and attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer to the existing list. These additions ensure that prisoners convicted of these additional violent crimes follow the same parole eligibility rules as those already on the list, which typically impose stricter requirements before an initial parole date can be set.
