Parole Commission Phaseout Act of 1996  

Definition

  • The Parole Commission Phaseout Act of 1996, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton, is one of a series of laws that narrowed the scope, power, and authority of the U.S. Parole Commission. Although the 1996 act contains several key provisions, the most important extended the commission beyond the date it was supposed to have been disbanded.
