AI Summary
This bill requires probation officers to determine whether a probationer or offender on community control is eligible for an alternative sanctioning program if they commit a technical violation, which is defined as a violation that is not a new felony, misdemeanor, or criminal traffic offense. The bill establishes two categories of technical violations - low-risk and moderate-risk - and specifies permissible sanctions for each, such as jail time, community service, counseling, and electronic monitoring. The bill also sets eligibility criteria for the alternative sanctioning program and requires each judicial circuit to establish such a program. The goal of the bill is to provide a more structured approach to addressing technical violations of probation or community control, rather than automatic revocation.
