NY A04447

Amends the definition of "technical violation" to exclude conduct that violates a specific condition of community supervision and may result in serious harm to the releasee or others.

Expands "non-technical violations" to include conduct that violates a specific supervision condition and may result in serious harm, and conduct by individuals serving sentences for sex offenses, kidnapping, coercion, firearms offenses, or violations of correction law article 6-C.

Increases reincarceration limits for absconding violations from 7/15/30 days to 30/60/90 days, but caps reincarceration at 7 days if the releasee voluntarily presents to their supervision officer.

Permits reincarceration for certain technical violations (curfew violation, alcohol/drug use, failing to notify officer) only in specific circumstances, including when conduct may result in serious harm.

Allows reincarceration for other technical violations only after multiple substantiated violations, with escalating limits from 0 days for first and second violations to 30 days for fifth and subsequent violations.
