Bill > SB141

This bill establishes statewide procedures for imposing sanctions for technical violations of probation and parole. It requires probation and parole officers to use a graduated system of non-incarceration sanctions, such as community service and GPS monitoring, before seeking formal resolution in court or with the parole board for probation or parole violations. The bill also allows probationers and parolees to voluntarily waive their right to formal resolution for technical violations, and defines "technical violations" and "standard violations" (like absconding or new criminal activity). The bill makes related changes to sentencing, probation, and parole laws to align with these new procedures.
