Summary of Bill HR 4630
Bill 118 HR 4630, also known as the Supervision Reform Act of 2023, aims to address issues related to the supervision of individuals on probation or parole. The bill seeks to improve the effectiveness of supervision programs by implementing evidence-based practices and reducing unnecessary supervision for low-risk individuals.
One key aspect of the bill is the establishment of a risk and needs assessment tool to determine the level of supervision required for each individual. This tool will take into account factors such as the individual's criminal history, substance abuse issues, and likelihood of reoffending. By using this tool, supervision resources can be targeted towards those who pose the greatest risk to public safety.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to increase the use of alternatives to incarceration for individuals who violate the terms of their supervision. This could include community service, drug treatment programs, or electronic monitoring. By providing alternatives to incarceration, the bill aims to reduce the burden on the criminal justice system and help individuals successfully reintegrate into society.
Overall, the Supervision Reform Act of 2023 seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of supervision programs for individuals on probation or parole. By implementing evidence-based practices and reducing unnecessary supervision, the bill aims to promote public safety while also supporting the successful reentry of individuals into society.
