Support Our House Bill HB4303

The Parole Fairness Modernization Act

First, our communities must understand that Illinois does not have a parole system for its citizens. It was abolished in 1978 by eliminating the old Indeterminate parole sentencing scheme and creating the new Determinate Sentencing Scheme.

Right now, Illinois has a dual supervision system. People convicted of crimes prior to 1978 are released on parole supervision for the maximum duration of their sentence, which can last decades. People convicted of crimes post-1978 are released on mandatory supervised release (MSR), which caps supervision at 3 years.

The Parole Fairness Modernization Act (HB4303) eliminates this disparity by aligning supervision terms for pre-1978 sentences with the same MSR caps that apply to everyone else in Illinois.
HB4303
  • Promotes fairness and equal treatment
  • Maintains accountability through defined supervision
  • Reduces unnecessary long-term administrative supervision
  • Supports reentry and helps returning citizens rebuild stable lives.
  • The Parole Fairness Modernization Act HB4303 treats all parole supervision as MSR, creating consistency across Illinois application of the law.
