Safer Supervision Act of 2025

This bill changes federal rules for supervised release, the period of court supervision after a prison sentence. Judges would have to make an individualized assessment of whether to include supervised release, its length and conditions, and state their reasons on the record. It would let people ask for early termination of supervision before one year, require notice of that option, and create a presumption of early termination after a person serves half the term (two-thirds for violent offenses) with good conduct and no risk to public safety. It also narrows when revocation is mandatory for drug-related violations, lets prisoners without supervised release use earned time credits for release up to 12 months early, and requires reports on pay for probation officers and on federal post-release supervision.
