Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Work can shorten probation or parole

Beginning July 1, 2026, Adult Probation and Parole must establish a work-based program to shorten supervision. It covers people placed on probation or parole on or after that date who maintain eligible employment. The program can award up to 30 days of supervision credit for each month of eligible work. A court or parole board can deny ending supervision for substantial safety risks, needed risk-reduction programs or treatment, or unmet termination criteria.

Unpaid supervision fees get collection priority

Beginning May 6, 2026, unpaid monthly probation and parole supervision fees remain collectible outside the law's criminal-debt accounts. The state's debt collection office must pay past-due supervision fees first when distributing collections for criminal debts, civil debts, restitution judgments, or overdue supervision fees. This can leave less money for restitution or other debts. For people sentenced before July 1, 2021, the law also excludes unpaid supervision fees from these criminal-debt rules. Corrections must send unpaid fees to the Office of State Debt Collection when probation or parole ends; the fees are not canceled.

Drone operators face felony removal penalties

Beginning May 6, 2026, drone operators cannot use drones to remove items from inside correctional facility property. A violation is a third-degree felony. Mosquito abatement district employees and contractors are exempt when acting within their jobs.
