MS SB2361

Expands conditional medical release eligibility for nonviolent offenders by allowing placement on medical release if they have a long-term debilitating medical condition, regardless of time served (previously required one year of service).

Offenders on conditional medical release may be placed in the Intensive Supervision Program and must be supervised by the Division of Community Corrections for the remainder of their sentence.

Offenders must be returned to actual custody if they recover from their long-term debilitating medical condition or violate conditions of their conditional medical release.

Establishes a medical parole option through the State Parole Board for inmates deemed "medically frail" who cannot perform daily living activities, excluding those sentenced to capital punishment or convicted of sex crimes.

Effective July 1, 2025.
