Parole; revise technical violation.
SB 2359 revises Mississippi's definition of "technical violation" for parole supervision. It specifically excludes pleas or sentences in intervention courts (like drug or mental health courts under Chapters 23, 25, or 27 of Title 9) from being counted as a violation. This means parolees who participate in these specialized court programs will not face parole revocation for their involvement. The bill directly affects individuals on parole who engage with intervention courts as part of their supervision. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
