LC 305 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Establish work time credit for probationers and parolees

This bill establishes a work time credit system for probationers and parolees in Montana, allowing them to reduce their supervision period by earning one day of credit for every 40 hours of eligible employment completed. To qualify for this credit, individuals must comply with all court or board conditions and stay current on restitution payments and supervisory fees, while submitting proof of employment within five business days after completing 30 days of work. The supervising officer must verify employment through documentation and other methods, and any awarded credit must be revoked if the individual violates conditions, is charged with a new felony, or is charged with a misdemeanor that could result in more than six months of incarceration. The program excludes those on misdemeanor-only probation, those under lifetime supervision, registered sex or violent offenders, and youth court participants.
