This bill amends Code of Criminal Procedure Article 900(A)(6)(b) to address penalties for technical violations of probation. It specifies that defendants placed on probation for non-violent and non-sex offenses who commit a technical violation may face a sentence of up to ninety days without the possibility of sentence reduction. However, if the sentence is to be served in a custodial substance abuse treatment program, the defendant may be required to serve a longer sentence of up to one hundred eighty days without diminution of sentence.

The bill clarifies the conditions under which probation violations are penalized, ensuring that the penalties are appropriate for the nature of the offense. The changes aim to provide a structured approach to handling technical violations while also considering the potential for rehabilitation through treatment programs.
