FL S1256

Authorizes the chief judge of each judicial circuit, in consultation with the state attorney, public defender, and Department of Corrections, to establish an alternative sanctioning program for technical violations of supervision.

Defines "technical violation" as any alleged violation of supervision that is not a new felony offense, misdemeanor offense, or criminal traffic offense.

Requires the chief judge to issue an administrative order specifying eligibility criteria, eligible violations, recommended sanctions, and reporting procedures for the program.

Allows offenders to voluntarily participate in the program by admitting to the technical violation and waiving rights including legal representation, a hearing before a neutral judge, witness confrontation, and written statements of reasons for sanctions.

Requires the probation officer to submit the recommended sanction and documentation of the offender's admission to the court for approval, while allowing offenders to waive or discontinue participation at any time before a court order is issued.
