Provides that for the remaining probation officer positions engaged in basic services and new or expanded services approved of the total statewide number as of July 1, 2023, beginning on July 1, 2027, 20% of that number shall be transferred to those requiring 100% salary reimbursement.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Probation and Probation Officers Act to change how counties are reimbursed for probation officer salaries. Specifically, the Division of Probation Services will now fully reimburse counties for 100% of the salary costs for probation officer and supervisor positions that are approved for reimbursement to support pretrial services programs and specialty court programs. For other probation officer positions that handle basic services or new/expanded services, a portion of their salaries will gradually shift to the 100% reimbursement category. Starting July 1, 2027, 20% of the positions approved as of July 1, 2023, will be transferred to the 100% reimbursement category, with another 20% transferred each subsequent year until all such positions are covered. This change aims to increase state funding for specific types of probation services.
