HB3449 & SB2257-Truth in Sentencing Step Down

House Bill 3449 and Senate Bill 2257 (HB3449/SB2257) reduce the Truth in Sentencing (TIS) thresholds that are required to be served before someone can be released from prison. Generally, HB 3349/SB2357 reduces the TIS percentages from 100% to 75%, 85% to 60% and 75% to 50%. The proposal is retroactive and requires the Department of Corrections to award credits for time already served at the new TIS thresholds. The proposal also establishes a process to allow people in prison to receive sentence credit for programming they had already completed, but were not eligible for before this proposal.
