A bill for an act relating to probation, including discharge credits, educational credits, and workforce credits, and including effective date provisions.

HB 140 (Iowa) creates three credit systems to reduce probation terms for eligible defendants. Defendants can earn: - **Discharge credits** (14 days/month) for monthly compliance, - **Educational credits** (90 days) for completing diplomas or certified training, and - **Workforce credits** (30 days/6 months) for verified employment (30+ hrs/week). Credits apply after July 1, 2026, with a 40% maximum reduction cap, requiring payment of fees/debt before early termination. The Department of Corrections must report annual credit usage starting in 2027.
