Bill > SB193

This bill amends existing Kentucky law (KRS 533.020) concerning probation and similar supervision periods for individuals convicted of crimes. It introduces two key changes: first, it grants courts 60 days *after* a supervision period ends to decide if a violation occurred and what action to take, specifically when the alleged violation happened within the last 60 days of that supervision. Second, it clarifies that if a warrant is issued for a violation of supervision, the time between the warrant's issuance and the defendant's first court appearance after being served with the warrant will not count towards the supervision period, effectively pausing or "tolling" the clock on their sentence, unless the court finds no violation occurred. This aims to provide more time for courts to address violations and prevent defendants from avoiding consequences by delaying their court appearances after a warrant is issued.
