Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 47-7-2, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Revise The Definition Of "technical Violation" Within Probation And Parole Law To Provide That A Technical Violation Shall Not Include The Commission Of A New Criminal Offense By A Probationer Or Parolee; To Amend Section 47-7-38, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Conform; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to redefine "technical violation" for individuals on probation or parole, clarifying that committing a new criminal offense will no longer be considered a technical violation. Previously, a technical violation was broadly defined as an act or omission that broke the terms of probation or parole, but this bill specifically excludes new criminal offenses from this category. This change is intended to differentiate between minor rule breaches and more serious criminal behavior, potentially affecting how probation and parole violations are handled and sanctioned. The bill also makes conforming changes to related sections of the Mississippi Code.
