HB 1313 -- Shock Time for Felony Probationers Program

Sponsor: Curls

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to establish by regulation the Shock Time for Felony Probationers Program to give courts an alternative to imposing a sentence for nonviolent offenders who have violated the terms of their probation in which no sentence has been imposed. Offenders in this program will be required to serve a shock detention of between 90 and 120 days in the department as an alternative to the court imposing a conventional sentence.
