The act also allows a probation or parole officer or a law
enforcement officer to arrest a probationer or parolee without a
warrant if a condition of the person's probation or parole is
violated in the presence of the arresting officer. The officer will have 24 hours following the arrest to notify the Board of Probation and Parole of the arrest. The probationer or parolee may be detained until they are brought before the court for a preliminary hearing on the violation.
This act is identical to HB 2859 (2024).
