Summary

Parole Commission Phaseout Act of 1995 - Amends the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 to extend by five years the term of the United States Parole Commission. Authorizes the Commission to perform its functions with any quorum of Commissioners as the Commission may prescribe. Repeals a provision extending the term of office of a Commissioner who is in office on the effective date of such Act to the end of the five-year period after such date (thus reducing the size of the Commission).
