This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding probation for individuals convicted of dangerous crimes against children (DCAC). Under the current law, the court has the discretion to issue a warrant for rearrest and revoke probation if a defendant commits an additional offense or violates probation conditions. The bill would change this by requiring the court to issue a warrant and revoke probation in such cases, specifically for defendants who are at least 18 years old and convicted of a DCAC.

Additionally, the bill mandates that if probation is revoked and the defendant is serving multiple probationary terms concurrently, the court must impose consecutive terms of imprisonment. This change aims to strengthen the consequences for serious offenses against children and ensure that offenders face stricter penalties for violations of probation.
