HB 6367 Summary

• Allows prisoner transfers to be made using "retransfer" terminology and clarifies that certain supervised absences from secure facilities are permitted for specific purposes including visiting critically ill relatives, attending funerals, obtaining medical services, and participating in work details.

• Removes restrictions on prisoners subject to disciplinary time from accessing extended limits of confinement, allowing them the same eligibility as other prisoners once they have fewer than 180 days remaining on their minimum sentence.

• Expands permissible activities under extended limits of confinement to include transitional employment, training, educational, cognitive, and treatment programs consistent with a prisoner's case management plan, while housed in community corrections centers or residential homes.

• Allows directors to grant extensions for visiting critically ill relatives, attending funerals, or obtaining medical services to prisoners with violent or assaultive crime convictions prior to the 180-day threshold, provided supervision is maintained.

• Prohibits placement of prisoners convicted of crimes of violence with minimum sentences of 10 years or more in community residential homes during any portion of their sentence.
