This bill amends current statutes regarding probation, specifically addressing the termination of probation for individuals convicted of dangerous crimes against children. Under the proposed changes, the court is prohibited from terminating the period of probation or intensive probation earlier than originally imposed for defendants convicted of such crimes, unless the defendant was under eighteen years of age at the time of the offense. This adds a new restriction to the existing law, which previously allowed for earlier termination based on the court's discretion and the defendant's conduct.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals currently serving a term of lifetime probation for a dangerous crime against children, as well as those who commit such offenses after the bill's effective date, will be subject to these updated provisions. The language regarding compliance with court-ordered restitution is also refined, ensuring clarity in the requirements for probationers. The act is designated as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage.
