AI Summary
- Community sanction violations resolved through the alternative sanctioning program under s. 948.06(9) receive zero sentencing score sheet points, and prior violations resolved through the program are not counted when scoring subsequent violations brought before the court
- Courts must modify or continue probation (rather than revoke it) 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 separate 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, or up to 120 days if the probationer was previously found in violation and given up to 90 days jail as a condition
- For low-risk probation or community control violations, the court must hold a hearing within 30 days of the probationer's arrest; if no hearing is held within that timeframe, the court must release the probationer without bail (unless the delay is attributable to the probationer), with nonmonetary conditions of release permitted
- The act replaces references to "the effective date of this act" with the specific date of March 12, 2007, and takes effect July 1, 2024
