probation; dangerous crimes against children
What changed between versions
Courts must now state the factual and legal reasons for each sentence at the time of sentencing.
New provisions allow courts to permit remote reporting for probationers, with officers required to consider work schedules and medical needs when setting reporting times.
A new courtesy transfer process allows probationers to request a move to another county for family, employment, or housing reasons, which the probation department must approve within seven business days unless victim safety is at risk.
New 'earned time credit' allows eligible probationers to reduce their supervision period by 20 days for every 30 days of positive behavior and compliance.
New 'work time credit' allows eligible probationers to reduce their supervision period by 30 days for every 30 days of eligible employment.
Earned time and work time credits are now explicitly excluded for individuals on lifetime probation, those serving class 2 or 3 felonies, those on misdemeanor-only probation, sex offenders required to register, and those convicted of dangerous crimes against children (unless under 18).
Removed the capitalized text prohibiting early termination of probation for dangerous crimes against children, replacing it with standard sentence case formatting.
