Senate Bill 539 updates and clarifies laws concerning the Division of Community Correction and the Division of Correction, including references to community correction centers. The bill modifies administrative sanctions for parolees and individuals on post-release supervision. It defines intermediate sanctions such as increased substance abuse screening or treatment, and increased monitoring. For parolees, incarceration as an intermediate sanction is limited to a maximum of seven days in a county jail or 120 days in a state facility, with overall limits on frequency and duration. Similar restrictions apply to those on post-release supervision, capping intermediate incarceration at seven days in a county/regional jail or 90 days in a state facility.
