Lorraine's Law increases parole reconsideration time for violent felonies from 24 to 60 months.
Lorraine's Law, named in memory of Lorraine Miranda, increases the time for parole reconsideration for violent felonies from 24 to 60 months. This change applies to eligible class A felonies, including murder in the first degree, aggravated murder, and murder in the second degree, where a sentence other than death or life imprisonment without parole is imposed. The law aims to provide grieving families more time before having to testify at parole hearings. It does not infringe upon the Parole Board's current 24-month reconsideration period but offers an additional option.
