PA HB605

Supervised individuals on probation, parole, or postrelease supervision earn 15 days of compliance credit for each month they fulfill their case plan requirements, have no new arrests, and make scheduled payments for restitution, fines, and fees.

Supervising agencies must place compliant individuals in nonactive supervision status for earned credit days and petition courts to reduce supervision periods once individuals have no outstanding financial obligations.

Agencies must adopt publicly posted regulations for credit forfeiture tied to violation severity, with forfeiture limited to already-earned credits and procedures established for credit restoration.

Individuals who cannot pay court costs, restitution, or fines due to financial hardship may still earn compliance credits if they meet all other eligibility requirements.

The act takes effect 60 days after enactment and amends Title 61 (Prisons and Parole) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.
