House Bill 2001 will change the annual parole hearings for inmates serving life sentences with mercy after serving a minimum sentence. A bill was passed last session that made the parole hearings annually. This bill would change those hearings to up to every three years. After the denial of the first parole hearing, the parole board would decide when the inmate can receive another hearing and this can be anytime within the next three years.
