plus earned compliance credits equals the total length of the supervised release term or, if
applicable, the aggregate length of the supervised release term and conditional release term,

risk to public safety, after weighing factors including the individual's stability, behavior, or

release, the commissioner shall not place the individual on supervision abatement status
unless the time served on active supervision plus earned compliance credits equals at least
ten years.
