SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Criminal procedure; probation. Requires the Department of Corrections to develop a supervision plan when an offender is placed on supervised probation, specifically for that offender, taking into account his offense and the results of any assessment conducted by the Department and setting out specific goals for the offender to achieve and credits towards reduction of the period of active supervision that may be earned. The maximum reduction of the period of active supervision is 50 percent. The bill gives the court authority to approve or disapprove the plan and to reduce the period of probation when the offender achieves the goals of the plan. Any offender convicted of abduction, rape, carnal knowledge of a child, forcible sodomy, object sexual penetration, aggravated sexual battery, or taking indecent liberties with children shall not be eligible for such a plan.
