What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with certain exceptions, if a person is convicted of a crime a court may withhold sentencing of the person or may impose a sentence but stay its execution and, in either case, place the person on probation. The court may impose conditions of probation. If a person violates a condition of probation, the person's probation may be revoked.
Under current law, a person who is released from confinement in a prison to parole or to extended supervision is subject to conditions set by the parole commission or by the Department of Corrections. If a person violates one of these conditions, his or her parole or extended supervision may be revoked and the person may be returned to prison.
