Amends GS 15A-1368(a)(5) by making the maximum imposed term for a prisoner serving consecutive prison terms the sum of all maximum terms imposed in the court judgment or judgments, less 60 months for each of the second and subsequent sentences imposed for Class B1 through Class E felonies for which the sentence was established pursuant to GS 15A-1340.17(f) (was, second or subsequent); 36 months (was, 12 months) for each of the second and subsequent sentences imposed for Class B through Class C felonies not otherwise covered; 18 months for each of the second and subsequent sentences imposed for Class D through Class F felonies not otherwise covered; and 9 months for each of the second and subsequent sentences imposed for Class G through Class I felonies (was, 9 months for each of the second and subsequent sentences imposed for Class F through Class I felonies).

Amends GS 15A-1368.2 by requiring applicable prisoners to be released from prison for post-release supervision on the date equivalent to his maximum imposed prison term, less 36 months (was, 12 months) for Class B1 through Class C felons (was, through Class E felons), 18 months for Class D through Class F felons, and less 9 months for Class G through Class I felons (was, Class F through Class I felons), less any time awarded by the Division of Prisons of the Department of Adult Correction or the custodian of a local confinement facility. Makes identical changes to the number of months reduced and classes of felonies in each category for the release for post-release supervision of prisoners who have not been awarded any earned time. Modifies the supervisee’s period of post-release supervision to a period of 36 months (was, 12) for Class B1 through Class C felons (was, through Class E felons), 18 months for Class D through Class F felons, and 9 months for Class G through Class I felons (was, Class F through Class I felons), unless the offense requires registration under the Sex Offender and Public Protection Registration Programs in Article 27A of Chapter 14.

Effective December 1, 2025 and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
