Bill > HB0430

This bill amends existing law to require the state to reimburse local government agencies for the costs of supervising felony offenders placed on probation by a court, with these costs to be determined by a memorandum of understanding between the state and the local agency. It also clarifies that the state division responsible for supervision, except as otherwise provided by law, shall oversee offenders placed on probation, released on parole, or supervised under the Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers, particularly those convicted of felonies or certain misdemeanors. The bill also includes provisions for offenders participating in substance use treatment or residential programs, establishes standards for offender supervision and monitoring, and outlines the duties of POST-certified parole and probation officers. Additionally, it details a monthly supervision fee for offenders, with provisions for suspension or waiver, and establishes programs for offenders to earn reductions in their probation or parole length through compliance and eligible employment, while also coordinating with local mental health authorities for offenders with mental illness who are at high risk of reoffending.
