What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person is entitled to an administrative hearing on whether the person's probation, parole, or extended supervision may be revoked. The person has a right to due process with respect to the revocation hearing, but the rules of evidence that apply to court proceedings do not necessarily apply to revocation hearings.
Also under current law, a person who has been charged with committing a felony is entitled to a preliminary examination at which the court must determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the defendant committed the felony.
Read the full summary Show less
Witness testimony may be taken at both revocation hearings and preliminary examinations.
This bill provides that, if the Department of Corrections initiates proceedings to revoke a person's probation, parole, or extended supervision because the person has committed a new felony, the felony victim's testimony from the preliminary examination regarding the felony is admissible at the hearing on revocation of probation, parole, or extended supervision. The bill further provides that, if the victim testified at a preliminary examination regarding the felony and if a record of the testimony is available, a party to the revocation hearing may not subpoena the victim to appear at the revocation hearing unless that party shows good cause for requiring the victim's appearance.
