Bill > S06219

This bill amends the criminal procedure law and family court act to require that when a court sentences someone to probation or conditional discharge, the written conditions must now include the physical address and telephone number of the specific probation office where the individual must report. Additionally, the bill mandates that these written conditions be provided to the defendant or respondent in their preferred language. The changes apply to both criminal court sentencing and family court probation supervision, ensuring that individuals on probation have clear, accessible information about where and how to fulfill their probation requirements. This provision aims to improve communication and compliance by providing defendants and respondents with precise location and contact details for their assigned probation office. The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law, which is a standard implementation timeline that allows government agencies time to prepare for the new requirements.
