AI Summary
This bill establishes a work time credit system for probationers and parolees in Montana, allowing them to reduce their supervision period by earning one day of credit for every 40-hour workweek of eligible employment. To qualify, individuals must comply with all court or board-imposed conditions and be current on court-ordered restitution or supervisory fees. Probationers and parolees must provide supporting documentation of their employment to their supervising probation and parole officer within 5 business days after completing 30 days of work. The supervising officer will verify the employment through documentation, site visits, or telephone verification, and must document any denied work time credit requests. Work time credit can be revoked if the individual violates supervision conditions, is charged with a new felony, or is charged with a serious misdemeanor. The bill does not apply to individuals under lifetime supervision, those required to register as sexual or violent offenders, or those subject to youth court proceedings. "Eligible employment" is defined as any occupation with at least 40 wage-earning hours in a 7-day period, and "supporting documentation" includes employment records, pay stubs, employment letters, or contracts that verify employment.
