AK HB196

Removes the word "treatment" and replaces it with broader language referring to "reformation and rehabilitation programs" in sections governing credit toward sentences for time spent in programs as bail conditions.

Allows courts to grant one day of sentence credit for each full day a defendant spends in a reformation and rehabilitation program that substantially restricts the defendant's freedom of movement and behavior.

Requires courts to consider 13 specific factors when granting credit, including restrictions on freedom, residency requirements, physical custody and supervision, electronic monitoring, substance abuse treatment, and other relevant circumstances.

Mandates defendants file notice with the court and prosecutor 10 days before sentencing or disposition hearings to claim credit, requiring proof by preponderance of evidence that program requirements are met.

Establishes a 90-day deadline after sentencing, appeal return, or disposition hearing for courts to consider credit requests, with exceptions allowed only for good cause.
