CHAIRMAN HALFORD brought SB 286 (CONDITIONS OF PAROLE; EXTEND BD OF OF PAROLE) before the committee, noting that there was a proposed Rules CS. CHAIRMAN HALFORD explained that the Judiciary CS takes provisions on conditions of parole that were in regulation and puts them into the statute. However, the Department of Law has pointed out a problem in one area, which is the provision that is in paragraph (7) on page 3, "a defensive weapon, a deadly weapon...." This included a pocket knife, or residing in a place where there was a firearm, or any knives longer than three inches. That's an area that's in the discretionary provisions by regulation, versus in the mandatory provisions. The Department of Law feels that by putting it in the mandatory provisions, as was done in the Judiciary CS, it makes it difficult for people such as a commercial fisherman who might live in a home where someone else has a firearm, etc. The Rules CS takes the provision and makes it a descretionary condition of parole, and it is the only change made to the Judiciary CS. SENATOR RIEGER moved that CSSB 286(RLS) be adopted. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered. SENATOR RIEGER moved that CSSB 286(RLS) be passed out of committee with individual recommendations and that it be approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
