Bill Summary
Modifies provisions relating to earned discharge from probation
AI Summary
This bill modifies provisions related to earned discharge from probation by establishing a new process for automatic earned discharge after 24 months of compliant supervision. Under the new provisions, the division of probation and parole must file a notification of earned discharge for defendants who have been compliant for at least 24 months, with some exceptions for serious felonies and defendants who haven't paid full restitution. The prosecuting attorney can request a hearing within 30 days of the notification, during which the court will determine whether the earned discharge is appropriate. If no hearing is requested, the court must discharge the defendant within 60 days of the notification. The bill also specifies procedures for probation violations, including a 120-day structured intervention program for eligible offenders as an alternative to immediate revocation. The legislation aims to provide a more structured and potentially rehabilitative approach to probation supervision, giving courts and prosecutors discretion to review an offender's progress while creating a pathway to earlier discharge for those who demonstrate compliance with probation terms.
