Current Bill Summary

SB 1006 - This act removes the statutory provision allowing an offender to object to the use of videoconferencing at probation and parole hearings, and requires the Board of Probation and Parole to conduct an interview, rather than a personal interview, of the offender before ordering parole.

These provisions are identical to HCS/SS/SCS/SB 663 (2016) and are similar to HCS/SB 681 (2016) and HB 1585 (2016).
