I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:" "parole candidate” includes any individual who has made an application for parole;".

This provides the definition of a parole candidate. It is probably radical enough, as it would be a change in the situation whereby it would be defined as somebody who has made an application for parole with no restrictions or conditions. If a person makes an application he or she is a candidate.
