New Jersey A621 limits future parole eligibility dates for inmates denied release to a maximum of three years.

New Jersey A621 amends the parole eligibility process by capping the time an inmate can wait before another parole hearing at three years. The parole board must develop a schedule of future parole eligibility dates for inmates denied release, but these dates cannot exceed three years from the denial date. This change aims to ensure timely parole consideration while maintaining public safety.
