HB 2648 Summary

• Modifies community supervision terms for felony offenders by establishing different ratios based on offense type: one day per seven days of sentence for serious/violent/aggravated felonies, and one day per three days for other felonies.

• Amends earned release credit calculations to match the new community supervision ratios: one day per six days served for serious/violent/aggravated felonies and one day per three days served for other offenses.

• Clarifies that earned release credits do not reduce the term of imprisonment imposed by the court, and establishes that prisoners released on earned release credit dates are not under state department of corrections control when community supervision has been waived.

• Makes technical corrections to Arizona Revised Statutes sections 13-603, 13-901, and 41-1604.07 regarding sentencing, probation, and release procedures.
