The Early Release Bill
No early release for violent sex offenders under supervision
Concerning sexually violent predators' ineligibility to earn supervision compliance credit.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would stop dangerous sex offenders from getting out of supervision early, which helps keep communities safer for everyone.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would make sure that sexually violent predators cannot earn credits to shorten the time they are watched by the state. This means they would stay under supervision for the full time ordered, which could make communities safer. People who believe in strict supervision for serious offenders would support this. Others might worry about the costs of longer supervision, though the bill text does not mention this. It is important to know about this bill now because it is still moving through the legislature.
