(3) An individual on parole shall not be placed in the pilot program until the Division of Parole Supervision has determined the individual is a suitable candidate in accordance with policies and guidelines developed by the division.
(4) On or before June 1, 2024, the Division of Parole Supervision shall electronically submit a report to the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature regarding the pilot program. The report shall evaluate effects of the pilot program on recidivism and make recommendations regarding expansion of or changes to the program.
