What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if an individual who is on probation, extended supervision,

or parole (release) violates a condition of that release, the person is subject to

sanctions including incarceration. This bill requires the Department of Corrections

(DOC) to develop a system of short-term sanctions for violations of conditions of

release and permits the sanctions to be imposed on the individual. This bill also

allows a district attorney to use the short-term sanctions system for violations of a

deferred prosecution agreement. The short-term sanctions system must provide a

list of sanctions for the most common violations. In developing the system DOC must

account for the objective to be accomplished by imposing the sanction and consider

the level of intensity necessary to achieve the objective; protect the public, correct the

offender's behavior, and hold the offender accountable; determine when revocation

is the required response; provide flexibility in imposing sanctions but also provide

offenders with clear and immediate consequences for violations; provide examples

of high, medium, and low level sanctions and what factors to consider when

determining which level of sanction to apply; determine how to reward compliance;

and ensure that efforts to minimize the impact on an offender's employment and

family are made when applying sanctions. Finally, this bill requires DOC to perform

reviews of sanctions imposed in order to assess disparities among sanctions, to

evaluate the effectiveness of sanctions, and to monitor the impact of sanctions on the

number and type of revocations for violations.
