LC 242 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to supervision on probation

This bill revises Montana laws governing probation and parole supervision conditions, primarily affecting individuals under court-ordered supervision and the officials who monitor them. It allows probation and parole officers to remove certain supervision conditions without requiring court objection, streamlining the administrative process for adjusting supervision terms. The legislation also clarifies procedures for revocation hearings, including timelines for bringing offenders before a judge and the standards for proving violations, while maintaining the right to counsel and evidentiary protections. Additionally, it specifies how time served in various facilities should be credited toward sentences if violations are found, and outlines the judge's options for modifying or revoking probation when violations occur.
