Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PROBATION; ALLOWING A MINIMUM OR MEDIUM RISK DEFENDANT TO BE RELEASED FROM PROBATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing New Mexico law to allow for the automatic release from probation of certain defendants who are classified as minimum or medium risk, have met all their probation obligations, and have completed at least half of their probation period. Previously, probation could only be terminated early through a court order. This change provides an opportunity for low-risk defendants to be released from probation supervision prior to the full term, potentially reducing the overall probation caseload.
