The bill modifies sections 803, 804, 805, and 806 of the correction law. It ensures that time allowances, which can reduce the term of imprisonment, are not withheld if an individual cannot complete a program for reasons beyond their control. This applies to both determinate and indeterminate sentences, except for those with a maximum term of life imprisonment.
