2006 Senate Bill 1196 / Public Act 315

Revise parole violator release rules

Introduced in the Senate

To establish that a criminal whose parole has been revoked because of a violation need not be released simply because a 45 day time limit on holding a fact finding hearing has been exceeded. This may be one of the factors that resulted in the notorious case of a parole-violating criminal (Patrick Selepak) who committed a horrific double-murder in 2006 after being improperly released.
