BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 508.1555(a), Government Code, is amended | ||
to read as follows: | ||
(a) A parole officer annually shall identify the releasees | ||
under the parole officer's supervision who are eligible for early | ||
release from supervision under Section 508.155(c). A releasee is | ||
eligible for early release if: | ||
(1) the releasee has been under supervision for the | ||

on the releasee's sentence when the releasee was released from | ||
imprisonment; or | ||
(B) 10 years; | ||
(2) during the preceding two-year period, the releasee | ||
has not committed any violation of the rules or conditions of | ||
release; | ||
(3) during the period of supervision the releasee's | ||
parole or release to mandatory supervision has not been revoked; | ||
and | ||
(4) the division determines: | ||
(A) that the releasee has made a good faith | ||
effort to comply with any restitution order imposed on the releasee | ||
by a court; and | ||
(B) that allowing the releasee to serve the | ||
remainder of the releasee's sentence without supervision and | ||
reporting is in the best interest of society. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a | ||
person on parole or mandatory supervision on or after the effective | ||
date of this Act, regardless of whether the person was released on | ||
parole or to mandatory supervision before, on, or after that date. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
