PA HB150

Repeals existing Section 9777 regarding temporary transfer of inmates to hospitals, nursing facilities, or hospice care locations with electronic monitoring, and replaces it with new Section 9778 allowing courts to modify prison sentences for inmates with terminal illness, serious illness preventing daily living activities, life-threatening illness requiring outside treatment, or serious functional/cognitive impairments

Allows petitions for sentence modification to be filed by the Secretary of Corrections, chief administrator of any institution, prosecuting attorney, the inmate, or the court, with a "clear and convincing proof" standard required

Requires the Department of Corrections to notify an inmate's attorney, spouse/partner, and family within 72 hours of a terminal illness diagnosis, provide medical records within 7 days, and assist with petition preparation upon request

Courts must decide petitions within 30 days and consider factors including victim responses, the inmate's offense and time served, current physical/mental condition, disciplinary record, rehabilitation efforts, post-release care plan, and risk of danger to the community

Mandates annual reporting to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees on petition statistics, outcomes, and deaths occurring while petitions are pending, with regulations to be promulgated within 180 days and the act taking effect in 60 days
