only apply to program participation after the statute became effective and if that's correct then we would lose however there's this new statute which makes it perfectly well how can they bypass is there a process for them promulgating regulations i mean how can we order them to immediately issue regulations and bypass any administrative processes that they have they have to start the administrative process i believe in the positions where they make sessions but it would seem that this amendment is a legislative indication there the legislature consider the the prior statute which now would allow murderers credit it should be retroactively applied and if he gets out immediately then the new statute would have to be applied retroactively as well in order to supposedly nullify what morning thank you may please the court i want to start by addressing the last question that was asked about those regulations that they were promulgated on march st of to and this is a question that is of concern now that they have been promulgated do they need to be modified amended or do they need to start over i'm not entirely clear on that answer your honor however i will would have regulations but under the plain language of the statute he probably could be granted or he could apply for and probably be granted the time he's asking for now their eligible or their qualifications for my documentation exactly and if they can't provide documentation then their credit is limited forty five days i think yes i believe that is what is that strange that he did this past as i physically could at this time yes the in order to actually get this credit i have to know trial judges or the warden needs to know or the director needs to know how to do that but if it that's what i regulate sions usually do they they define terms they talk about when things happen how many days are needed to do these things so all of those things would be in regulations but it wouldn't necessarily this twenty nine thousand regulation that also talk about the granting of credit so who would have to in many of these where there is a provision for regulation department were to immediate we create regulations there's still lengthy process and even under the urgency process it still takes a decent amount of time and it's not guaranteed that the regulation was put together by  and contrary to what my colleagues said i think the two thousand and nineteen amendment shows confirms that the general assembly did not intend for the twenty thousand amendment to grant those sentence credit modifiers to the previously ineligible inmates retrospectively because they know how to use the specific retrospective language that they used in the higher levels of education just earlier and you can only tell high school so he's if he has completed a bachelor's and he can provide that documentation he is the ironically eligible for additional sentencing credits under  under the most of the credits he was asking for though before and two thousand and twenty dealt with is completion of several programs within the system i think substance abuse  claims to have completed about twenty five years under the day for a system and then he was requesting the application of the modifier to that twenty five years as he was already getting that have completed his programming right so again we don't have to answer the question you know but it may come up again it could be because if it was substantive and therefore should only apply prospectively
