Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 35, Part 5.
Tennessee HB0527 amends the current parole eligibility criteria for inmates convicted of felonies by allowing the Board of Parole to deny parole based solely on their finding of a substantial risk that the individual will not conform to release conditions, even for those serving sentences for serious crimes such as first degree murder and aggravated vehicular homicide. This change affects inmates seeking parole and alters the conditions under which parole can be denied. Key provisions include the removal of the requirement that the board's finding cannot be the sole basis for denying parole in certain cases.
