UT SB0313

Amends the Adult Probation and Parole Employment Incentive Program to direct incentive payments to the department rather than individual regions, with 15% available for administrative expenses and 85% required for supervision and rehabilitative services in the applicable region.

Adds new definitions including "evidence-based" practices, "felony probation," "recidivism percentage," and "total annual population" calculations for both parole and felony probation populations.

Establishes baseline employment rates using the average of fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025 for calculating regional employment incentive payments at $2,500 multiplied by the rate difference and average daily population.

Creates an end-of-supervision employment incentive payment of $2,500 per individual who successfully completes parole or felony probation while holding eligible employment for the final six months of supervision.

Takes effect on May 6, 2026.
