Establishes a conditional geriatric release program for inmates aged 65 and older who have served at least 15 years of their sentence.

The bill creates a conditional geriatric release program for inmates in Florida who are 65 years of age or older and have served a minimum of 15 years of their sentence. The Florida Commission on Offender Review, in conjunction with the Department of Corrections, establishes this program. Eligibility for conditional geriatric release is not a right but a discretionary decision by the commission, which must consider evidence relevant to public safety. The commission can also consider the cost to the department to house the inmate, but public safety takes precedence.
