For amend and vote only, the Committee heard HB 1080 on community corrections and credit time authored by Rep. Steuerwald and Rep. McNamara. The bill provides that a person who is placed in a community corrections program may be deprived of earned good time credit due to a violation of a term of the person’s community corrections sentence as provided under protocols adopted by the Department of Correction and approved by the Commissioner of Correction.
The bill was amended to require the Department of Correction to adopt rules concerning the deprivation of earned good time credit for a person placed in community corrections and also making the bill effective upon passage. The amended bill passed 13–0.
