LB790

Nebraska LB790 changes how parole officers handle substance abuse and technical violations by parolees.

Nebraska LB790 modifies the handling of substance abuse and technical violations by parolees. It requires parole officers to impose administrative sanctions for substance abuse violations if the parolee poses no flight risk or danger. These sanctions include counseling, increased supervision, and travel restrictions. For technical violations, parole officers must submit a report to the Board of Parole, which can then impose custodial sanctions of up to 30 days. The bill also mandates the development of a matrix of rewards and sanctions for parolees.
