that SB 11 reduces the amount of good time sentence reduction a

reduction for crimes other than first and second degree murder, but                                                             
the proposed committee substitute limits the application of the                                                                 
good time reduction to people convicted of first and second degree

those who actually do it.                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
Number 030
