The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to probation by establishing that the court or probation officer must impose only conditions of probation that are "reasonably necessary, individually determined, and narrowly tailored" to assist the defendant in leading a law-abiding life, protect public safety, and promote rehabilitation. This change emphasizes a more individualized approach to probation conditions, requiring them to be informed by the defendant's criminogenic risk and needs as determined by a validated risk assessment tool. Additionally, the bill instructs the court or probation officer to consider waiving unnecessary conditions and to evaluate all relevant information before imposing special conditions of probation.

Furthermore, the bill makes several technical changes and clarifications, including the requirement that if a presentence report is prepared, the conditions of probation must align with its findings. It also modifies the language regarding the assessment of probation fees and the handling of probation violations, ensuring that the period of probation is not interrupted unless a violation occurs. Overall, the bill aims to create a more tailored and effective probation system that prioritizes rehabilitation while maintaining public safety.
