HB 5219 — Remove Truth-in-Sentencing

House Bill 5219 proposes amendments to the Code of Corrections. This proposal eliminates the current truth-in-sentencing (TIS) restrictions that limit the amount of sentence credits people can earn for certain offenses. Under this proposal, except for natural life sentences, sentences that currently require 75%, 85%, or 100% of their sentence to be served in prison would instead be eligible to earn day-for-day credit.
