MS SB2158

Establishes mandatory conditions (no new offenses, sex offender registration if required) and discretionary conditions for probation, parole, and post-release supervision based on offender risk and needs assessments.

Reduces maximum term of supervised probation from 5 years to 2 years and maximum post-release supervision from 5 years to 2 years.

Limits parole and probation revocation to cases where offender is indicted for a new felony or where graduated sanctions have been imposed within 6 months and additional sanctions will not secure compliance.

Requires Department of Corrections to impose graduated sanctions (warnings, increased reporting, treatment, short jail stays) before requesting judicial modification or revocation for technical violations.

Requires written violation reports to document date, type, and result of any graduated sanctions imposed within previous 6 months, effective July 1, 2020.
