Subject: Prohibits Early Termination of Parole for Certain Offenses Analyst: Daniel Druilhet
CRIME/PUNISHMENT EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX Page 1 of 1
Prohibits early termination of probation and parole for certain offenses. (8/1/24)
Current law provides that a court may terminate probation at any time as satisfactorily completed, upon final determination that the
defendant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of probation; in a felony case, the court may terminate the defendant’s
probation, early or as unsatisfactory, and discharge him at any time after the expiration of one year of probation under certain conditions.
Proposed law provides that in a felony case, other than for a conviction of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, vehicular homicide, or first
degree vehicular negligent injuring, the court may terminate the defendant’s probation, early or as unsatisfactory, and discharge him at
any time after the expiration of one year of probation under certain conditions; provides that in a misdemeanor case, other than for
conviction of vehicular negligent injuring, the court may terminate the defendant’s suspended sentence or probation and discharge him at
any time under certain conditions; effective 8/01/24.

EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
Proposed law may result in an indeterminable increase in SGF expenditures to the Department of Safety and Corrections -
Probation and Parole. Proposed law has the effect of removing the ability for those with felony convictions for operating a
vehicle while intoxicated, vehicular homicide, or first degree negligent injuring, from having their probation terminated early
and removes the ability for those convicted of misdemeanor vehicular negligent injuring from having their suspended
sentence or probation terminated earlier than the date on which it is slated for completion. DPS&C-CS will incur
expenditures to the extent that those convicted of the crimes included within the proposed law remain on probation for a
longer period of time with DPS&C, due to being unable to have their periods of probation terminated prior to the time slated
for completion.
For any period of time in which the offender’s probation is extended, an increase in revenue generated from the collection of
probation and parole supervision fines and fees is anticipated to offset any increase in expenditures. Given that changes to
this specific class of offenders not being eligible to have their probation terminated will only apply effective 8/01/24, the LFO
assumes the first expenditure exposure to likely occur in FY 26.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
Proposed law may result in an indeterminable increase in self-generated revenue to DPS&C – Probation and Parole to the
extent any offender remains on probation longer and has the ability to have his probation terminated earlier. The current
daily probation and parole supervision rate for adult offenders is $3.95 per day, which would result in an annual increase of
$1,441.75 ($3.95 x 365) per offender in probation and parole parole supervision SGR.
