Bill > SB913

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to further provide for the conditions of probation and the modification or revocation of probation orders. It also provides authority regarding probation detainers. Key provisions include: expanding the permissible conditions of probation, limiting the ability of courts to revoke probation solely due to nonpayment of fines or costs, providing new criteria and procedures for when a court can impose a sentence of total confinement upon revocation of probation, and establishing a process for probation review conferences where a defendant may be eligible for early termination of probation. The bill applies to individuals sentenced or resentenced on or after the effective date, with some provisions also applying retroactively to those sentenced prior to the effective date.
