AI Summary
- Courts must modify or continue (rather than revoke) probation for low-risk technical violations when the probationer is not a violent felony offender of special concern and has not been found in violation on two or more prior occasions during the current supervision term
- Upon modifying probation for a qualifying low-risk violation, courts may impose up to 90 days in county jail as a special condition, or up to 120 days if the probationer previously received a 90-day jail modification
- Felony probationers arrested for low-risk violations must receive a hearing within 30 days; if no hearing is held within that timeframe, the court must release the probationer without bail unless the delay is attributable to the probationer, and may impose nonmonetary conditions of release
- No community sanction violation points are assessed on the sentencing scoresheet when violations are resolved through the alternative sanctioning program, and prior violations resolved through that program do not count toward point assessments in subsequent proceedings
- Effective date is July 1, 2024
