Bill > SB906

This bill allows defendants to request an extension of their probation period to complete a collaborative justice court program, which is a specialized court designed to address the underlying issues contributing to criminal behavior through a coordinated approach involving various agencies. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to permit courts to extend probation for up to 18 months beyond the usual one-year limit for misdemeanors or two-year limit for other offenses, solely for the purpose of finishing such a program, provided the defendant makes a motion for the extension. This change is intended to support rehabilitation efforts within these specialized courts and, by potentially increasing the duration of probation supervision, it is recognized as a state-mandated local program for which reimbursement procedures are outlined.
