This bill amends existing laws related to probation conditions in Montana, specifically focusing on the authority of probation and parole officers to remove conditions of supervision without requiring objections from the sentencing court, probationer, or county attorney. The bill introduces a process whereby a probation officer can notify relevant parties of the intent to remove a condition, and if no objections are raised within 14 days, the condition is removed. Additionally, if the removed condition affects restitution or contact with the victim, the county attorney is required to notify the victim.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of victim notification throughout the probation process, particularly when changes to supervision conditions occur. It modifies the existing legal framework to ensure that victims are informed of any changes that may impact them, thereby enhancing their rights and involvement in the probation process. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline the management of probation conditions while ensuring that victims are adequately notified and considered in decisions affecting their safety and restitution.
