Department of Correction Program

House Bill 284 went it to effect July 15, 2020. This new law amended KRS 439.268 and allows the Department of Corrections to offer clients that are currently under the supervision of Probation and Parole (P&P) Program Good Time Credit (PGTC) for programs completed on or after August 1, 2020.

PGTC is an incentive that allows SUD clients to earn time off their court-ordered sentence and reduce their amount of time under supervision with P&P. Effective August 1, 2020, Department of Correction (DOC) Approved Programs and will be eligible for the credit. This legislation enables DOC the opportunity to offer clients additional treatment options with the benefit of earning PGTC outside of current contracted programs. DOC Approved Providers will be listed on the website and are qualified to receive referrals from DOC Addiction Services to administer evaluations, treatment, and assessment services to clients on misdemeanor supervision, pre-trial diversion, probation, MRS (mandatory reentry supervision), and parole.
