        Amends the Unified Code of  Corrections.  Requires  the  Prisoner      
   Review  Board  to parole a person eligible for parole and set the time      
   for parole, if the Board finds the person to  be  an  acceptable  risk      
   through  use  of specified Parole Release Risk Assessment Instruments.      
   Provides  that  if  parole  is  denied,  a  parole  hearing  shall  be      
   rescheduled no later than one year from the  date  of  denial  of  the      
   parole.   Provides for the release of terminally ill prisoners who are      
   eligible for parole.  Establishes  a  Parole  Oversight  Committee  to      
   review  parole  decisions of the Prisoner Review Board and to have the      
   authority to reverse parole decisions of the Board that  are  contrary      
   to law.  Limits the parole period of parolees who were sentenced under      
   the  law  in effect before January 1, 1973 to the period of parole for      
   persons sentenced under the law in effect after that date.   Prohibits      
   the  use  by the Prisoner Review Board of  statements submitted by the      
   State's  Attorney   at  the  sentencing  hearing  in   making   parole      
   decisions.  Effective July 1, 2001.                                         
          FISCAL NOTE, (Prisoner Review Board)                                 
          The fiscal impact for HB 29 is unknown.                              
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          This legislation would have minimal impact on the prison             
          population. There may be some cost savings but the exact             
          amount of savings cannot be determined.                              
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything. Reinserts the provisions of the bill except:       
   (1) eliminates from the bill, the Parole Oversight Committee; (2)           
   provides that parole hearings shall be conducted by a panel of 3            
   members of the Prisoner Review Board and decisions made by a panel of       
   3 members (rather than at least 5 members); and (3) eliminates from         
   the bill the prohibition on the use by the Prisoner Review Board of         
   statements submitted by the State's Attorney at the sentencing hearing      
   in making parole decisions. Effective July 1, 2001.
