HB3025 Summary

• Restructures parole and mandatory supervised release conditions to require Prisoner Review Board approval for all conditions, with limited exceptions for parole agents following adopted rules.

• Mandates conditions be based on gender-responsive risk, assets, and needs assessments and be no more restrictive than necessary to comply with assessment, achieve public safety, and facilitate community reintegration.

• Establishes that individuals assessed as low-risk to recidivate receive low-level or no supervision (with exceptions for specific offense types), while those at moderate/high risk receive supervision based on evidence-based practices.

• Prohibits parole revocation solely for failure to comply with affirmative conditions unless willful, requiring consideration of ability to pay and resource availability; good-faith efforts to participate in programs serve as a defense to revocation.

• Changes alcohol and drug treatment referrals from mandatory to discretionary, required only when necessary to comply with trauma-informed risk, assets, and needs assessment.
