Revises parole release requirements and parole violation procedures in New Jersey.

The bill modifies parole release and violation procedures in New Jersey. It expands the list of violations that do not lead to parole revocation, such as drug or alcohol use, failure to pay fines, or operating a vehicle without a license, unless the violation is a crime or disorderly persons offense. It also changes the standards for parole revocation hearings and reincarceration. The bill permits retroactive parole compliance credits for the 12-month period before its effective date, to be awarded within 12 months after the effective date, and not exceeding six months.
