Amendment offered by Sen. Mike Bishop (R-12)

To require the department to take steps to address the problem that is the subject of <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2006-SB-1019">Senate Bill 1019</a>, which is that if a prisoner has not completed certain training programs before a regularly scheduled parole hearing, he may be denied parole for another year, and yet in some cases there are waiting lists for the programs.
