HB 49 -- Alternative Sentencing Procedures

Sponsor:  Jolly

This bill modifies the procedure required for the early release
of first-time, nonviolent offenders after 120 days of
incarceration.  The person seeking early release is required to
file a copy of the petition with the prosecuting attorney who
prosecuted the offense and who will represent the state in the
proceeding.  Any victims or witnesses of the crime will be
offered an opportunity to make a statement to the court.  The
Department of Corrections is required to provide the court with a
report on the offender within 60 days of the filing of the
petition.
