AL SB267

Amends Alabama Code Sections 15-22-54 and 15-22-54.1 to define "administrative violation," "eligible offender," "nonviolent offender," and "new offense" in probation revocation proceedings.

Establishes that eligible offenders (nonviolent offenders meeting specific criteria) who violate probation may be sentenced to a maximum of 90 days imprisonment rather than automatic full revocation, with options for continued probation, warnings, or modified conditions.

Requires courts to not revoke probation and order confinement unless finding that no measure short of confinement will adequately protect the community or avoid depreciating the seriousness of the violation.

Allows persons currently serving prison sentences based on probation revocation who qualified as eligible offenders to petition for resentencing without filing fees, provided they meet requirements including no disciplinary infractions while incarcerated.

Prohibits successive petitions for resentencing unless new grounds are raised; petitions not scheduled for hearing within 30 days are deemed denied automatically.
