What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
