IL SB2333

Creates "earned discretionary reentry" eligibility for incarcerated persons who have served at least 20 years, including those serving natural life sentences, overriding prior restrictions on life sentence releases.

Transfers administration of earned discretionary reentry petitions to the Prisoner Review Board, which conducts hearings using a panel of at least 3 members with majority vote required for release.

Establishes hearing procedures including victim notification rights, consideration of rehabilitation factors (programming, disciplinary record, remorse, parole plan), and protections for incarcerated persons (legal counsel access, full file review 60 days prior, ability to challenge inaccurate records).

Prioritizes hearings for candidates incarcerated longest (beyond 20 years) for first 2 years, after which all candidates eligible for 20+ years of service have equal hearing opportunity.

Applies retroactively to all currently incarcerated persons and provides that upon release on earned discretionary reentry, sentence is complete after mandatory supervised release period.
