HB152 Alabama 2010 Session

Under existing law, when the Board of Pardons and Paroles revokes parole, it may require the parolee to serve all or a portion of the original term to which the parolee was sentenced

This bill would give the board that authority only when the revocation is based on the commission of a new crime and would provide that if the revocation was not based on the commission of a new crime, including non-serious traffic offenses, the board could require the parolee to serve 90 days in prison, after which parole would automatically be reinstated

To amend Section 15-22-32 of the Code of Alabama 1975, to further provide for parole court; and to provide a lesser penalty for a revocation of parole not based on the commission of a new crime.
