PAROLE ORDER: CONSENT TO SEARCH S.B. 1315:
COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1315 (as introduced 9-25-12)
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Corrections Code to do the following:
-- Require a parole order to include the parolee's consent to submit to a search upon demand by a peace officer or parole officer.
-- Require a prisoner to sign the consent before being released on parole.
-- Require the Department of Corrections to enter the consent as a condition of parole on an information system accessible to law enforcement.
Specifically, a parole order would have to require the parolee to provide written consent to submit to a search of his or her person or property upon demand by a peace officer or parole officer. The consent would have to include the prisoner's name and date of birth, his or her physical description, the date of release on parole, and the ending date of the parole.
The prisoner would have to sign the written consent before being released on parole. The Department promptly would have to enter the condition of parole into its Corrections Management Information System or Offender Management Network Information System or into a corresponding records management system that was accessible through the Law Enforcement Information Network.
