This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to clarify the conditions under which probation may be revoked, particularly in relation to technical violations. It specifies that certain offenses, such as violations of Title 40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, will be considered technical violations unless the court deems otherwise. Additionally, it establishes that a defendant on probation who commits a felony and is subsequently convicted will have their probation revoked as of the date of the felony's commission or the final conviction.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the revocation rules do not apply to defendants who are ordered to complete a drug or specialty court program as a condition of their probation. If such defendants fail to successfully complete the program, their probation will be revoked based on the date of the felony's commission or final conviction. This aims to provide a clearer framework for handling probation violations while allowing for exceptions in specific circumstances related to drug treatment programs.
