Youthful Offender Early Parole Procedure

     The bill adds the state board of parole as an entity that may approve an application for early parole for an offender who has completed a specialized program as provided in current law. The state board of parole can approve the application if the governor has not acted on the application within 60 days. If the governor acts on the application within 60 days, that decision is final. The offender must have been convicted of a certain predicate felony and committed the felony when they were younger than 21 years old.
