## Summary

**Creates a presumption for early termination of supervised release and expands court discretion over post‑prison supervision.** This bill would let courts make record‑based, individualized decisions about whether to impose or end supervised release and would broaden earned‑time access for some people in federal custody. - People on supervised release and their families would see faster review opportunities. Courts would have to state on the record why they impose or skip supervised release and must consider factors like criminal history, behavior in custody, rehabilitation efforts, health, and victim input. A presumption of early termination kicks in after served thresholds: 66.6 percent for certain offenses or 50 percent for others if the person shows good conduct and public safety would not be jeopardized. - People who were not sentenced to supervised release could earn time credits and may be released up to 12 months earlier under the Bureau of Prisons’ credit rules. - Probation and pretrial services officers and district courts would get attention on pay and capacity. The Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) must propose law enforcement availability pay parity within 180 days and the Government Accountability Office would study post‑release supervision, staffing, caseloads, and funding within 1 year.
