  • Amends s. 948.06, F.S., to require that all specified conditions be met (changed from "any") before a court must modify or continue a probationary term instead of revoking it for a violation
  • Mandatory modification or continuation applies when: the supervision is probation, the probationer is not a violent felony offender of special concern, the violation is a low-risk technical violation, and the court has not previously found the probationer in violation during the current term
  • Probationers who successfully completed sanctions through the alternative sanctioning program remain eligible for mandatory modification or continuation of probation
  • If a probationer has fewer than 90 days of supervision remaining and otherwise meets the mandatory modification criteria, the court may instead revoke probation and impose up to 90 days in county jail
  • Takes effect upon becoming a law
