2013 House Bill 4189

Revise parole granting detail

Introduced in the House

Feb. 5, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Ellen Lipton (D-27)

To revise the “veto” a sentencing judge or the judge’s successor has over granting parole to a prisoner convicted of a serious crime. Under current law, a sentencing judge and his or her successor can veto a parole. The bill would repeal this for the successor judge.
