AL SB60

Department of Corrections must check the National Crime Information Center database for outstanding warrants on inmates during intake, when considering work release, prior to parole release, and 90 days before sentence completion

When outstanding warrants are found, the Department must notify the issuing court, agency, district attorney, or municipal prosecutor of the inmate's whereabouts and cooperate to ensure warrants are served

Court hearings resulting from warrant service must be held virtually from the prison when technically possible, eliminating the requirement to physically transport inmates before a judge

Board of Pardons and Paroles must check for outstanding warrants when considering an inmate for parole and notify relevant authorities if warrants exist
