FL S0622

Creates a conditional geriatric release program administered by the Florida Commission on Offender Review and Department of Corrections for inmates who are 65 years or older, have served at least 15 years of their sentence, and are not on death row

Allows eligible inmates to apply for release consideration up to 2 years before reaching eligibility, though actual release cannot occur until eligibility requirements are met

Requires the commission to evaluate public safety factors including the underlying offense, criminal history, disciplinary record, rehabilitation indicators, physical and mental health, and post-release support system

Permits consideration of incarceration costs but prohibits cost factors from outweighing public safety concerns; release decisions rest solely within commission discretion with no right to release guaranteed

Release term extends for the remainder of the sentence without gain-time reductions, and violations of release conditions can result in revocation and return to prison with forfeiture of gain-time
