2009 House Bill 4497

Revise prison time off for good behavior

Introduced in the House

March 4, 2009

Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To allow prisoners to earn from 5 to 15 days per year of time off their sentence for good behavior. This would restore an older "good time" system which was eliminated for certain violent felons by Ballot Proposal B of 1978, and subsequently eliminated for all felons in 1987.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary

And since that date there has been no action on this bill. Should the bill be reported out of committee that information will appear on this page.
