HB6923 Summary

• Director of Corrections cannot award good conduct credit for meritorious service to an inmate unless the inmate has served a minimum of 60 days in custody of the Department of Corrections.

• Prior to awarding meritorious good conduct credit, the Director must make a written determination that the inmate is eligible, has served at least 60 days (or as close as the sentence allows), and has met established eligibility criteria.

• The 60-day minimum requirement applies to good conduct credit for meritorious service; except nothing in this provision permits the Director to extend an inmate's sentence beyond what the court imposed.

• Effective immediately upon becoming law.
