## Summary

**This bill would require courts to use individualized supervised release assessments and create a presumptive early-termination pathway for some people leaving prison.** It also would expand earned time credits, seek pay parity for probation officers, and mandate a comprehensive federal study of post-release supervision. - People on supervised release would get a clear chance to ask for early termination after the lesser of 1 year or 50% of their term if they show good conduct and pose no public-safety risk. Defendants must be notified of this option and may receive appointed counsel to pursue it. - People in custody who are not sentenced to supervised release would see expanded earned time credits and a new authority allowing the Bureau of Prisons to release eligible individuals up to 12 months earlier based on those credits. - Federal probation and pretrial services officers would get a 180-day report and proposal to extend availability pay equal to Federal criminal investigators, and the Comptroller General would study post-release supervision, reentry programs, and probation workforce and funding within one year.

- Up to 12 months earlier prison release: benefit, low. If enacted, the Bureau of Prisons Director would be allowed to release some prisoners earlier based on earned time credits.
