If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the calculation of county probation success incentive payments by excluding probationers convicted of a dangerous crime against children (DCAC) from the calculations. Specifically, the bill would insert language stating that the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) must exclude these probationers when determining the incentive payments, which are based on the number of probationers successfully prevented from entering prison. This change aims to refine the criteria for calculating these payments and ensure that the focus remains on probationers who do not pose a significant risk to children.

Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to existing language, including updating terms such as "performance-based outcome measures" to "outcome-based measures" and correcting the phrasing of certain sections for clarity. The bill would also replace the term "recent" with "recently" in the context of estimating the number of adult probationers successfully prevented from failing probation. Overall, these updates would enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the statute while ensuring that the incentive payment calculations are more accurately aligned with public safety considerations.
