House Bill No. by Representative Horton amends the Code of Criminal Procedure Article 900(A)(6)(b) to address technical violations of probation. The bill specifies that defendants placed on probation for offenses that are neither violent crimes nor sex offenses, and who are found to have committed a technical violation, may face a maximum sentence of 180 days without the possibility of sentence reduction. This change increases the previous maximum sentence from 90 days to 180 days.

The proposed law retains the existing provisions regarding probation violations while updating the penalty for technical violations. This adjustment aims to provide a clearer framework for handling technical violations and reflects a shift in the approach to probation enforcement in Louisiana.
