HB394

Provides relative to conditional parole (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

Final Passage·5/27/26

Louisiana HB394 amends parole rules for prisoners needing rehabilitative programs before release.

Louisiana HB394 modifies the conditions for conditional parole, allowing the release date of a prisoner to be extended by up to 12 months if the parole committee deems it necessary for the prisoner to complete a rehabilitative program. This change extends the previous nine-month limit. The prisoner must then appear before the parole board for a final decision on conditional parole upon completing the program. The bill retains other aspects of parole consideration and hearings.
