What it would have done

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

Under this bill, if a person released to extended supervision or a person on probation violates a condition of extended supervision or probation, his or her extended supervision or probation may be revoked. Under this bill, the period of imprisonment following revocation may not exceed 30 days unless the person has committed three or more violations during his or her release, unless the violation is a crime or a violation of a condition that the person not contact a specified individual, unless the person has absconded, or unless the person is registered with the Department of Corrections as a sex offender. This bill does not change current law regarding the maximum period of imprisonment following revocation if the person has committed three or more violations during his or her release, if the violation was a crime or a violation of a condition not to contact a specified individual, if the person absconded, or if the person is registered as a sex offender. The maximum period for these persons remains the time remaining on the bifurcated sentences for a person on extended supervision or the time imposed by the sentencing court for a person on probation.
