Description
<p class="bill_description"> Under existing law, an offender sentenced
to probation may be incarcerated in the
penitentiary for the remainder of his or her
sentence if probation is revoked for one or more
technical violations</p><p class="bill_description">
This bill would prohibit incarceration in
the penitentiary if a probationer has successfully
completed six months probation and has committed
only technical violations</p><p class="bill_description">
Existing law limits the period of probation
to five years for a felony offense and two years
for a misdemeanor offense for all probation
periods</p><p class="bill_description">
This bill would specify the limits applying
to probation periods imposed as part of a split
sentence and would provide intermediate options a
court may utilize in revoking probation. This bill
would provide retroactive application of the limits
on incarceration to certain prisoners that are
currently incarcerated in the penitentiary on
probation revocation for technical violations upon
meeting certain conditions and would invest
jurisdiction in the sentencing court to modify a
qualified offender's sentence. This bill would also
provide yearly appropriations for counties</p><p class="bill_entitled_an_act"> To amend Section 15-22-54, Code of Alabama 1975, to
limit the terms of probation; to prohibit incarceration in the
penitentiary for technical violations of probation with
retroactive application for certain offenders; to provide
intermediate sanctions for violations; and to add Sections
15-22-54.1 and 15-22-54.2 to the Code of Alabama 1975, to
provide for resentencing and yearly appropriations to
