🎉 HB 1589 became law last week, modernizing supervision reform in Virginia. It was championed by REFORM Alliance and a powerful coalition of advocates and lawmakers. Thanks to HB 1589, people on post-release supervision (PRS) will now be transferred to probation and gain real legal protections: ✅ Right to a lawyer when facing a violation hearing ✅ Fair and timely violation hearings ✅ Limits prison time for technical violations ✅ Decisions made by judges, not the parole board Swipe to see what else is changing—and why it matters. This win was made possible by a broad coalition. The bill was originally requested by the Parole Board, patroned by Del. @WrenWilliamsVA and supported by Governor @GlennYoungkin, AG @JasonMiyaresVA, and the Virginia Department of Corrections. Groups like REFORM, @HumanizationPro, and Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (@theCFSY) also played a major role. 📅 HB 1589 goes into effect July 1, 2025.
