Maintains mandatory supervised release timelines based on sentence length: 3-5 months prior for sentences of 5 years or less, 6-9 months prior for 5-10 years, and 12-24 months prior for 10+ years.

Requires released inmates to be classified as parolees subject to sanctions for parole violations under Sections 15-22-29 and 15-22-32.

Excludes defendants convicted of sex offenses involving children from these mandatory release provisions.

Requires the Department of Corrections to notify victims and interested parties of release through the victim notification system prior to the inmate's supervised release.

Becomes effective 30 days after passage and gubernatorial approval.
