Senate Bill No. introduced by D. Zolnikov establishes a framework for granting work time credit to probationers and parolees in Montana. Under this bill, probationers or parolees can receive a reduction in their supervision period based on their eligible employment, earning one day of credit for every 40-hour workweek completed while complying with court-imposed conditions and being current on restitution or supervisory fees. To qualify for this credit, individuals must provide supporting documentation of their employment within five business days after completing 30 days of eligible work. The supervising probation and parole officer is responsible for verifying this employment and documenting any denied requests for work time credit.

The bill also outlines specific circumstances under which work time credit must be revoked, including violations of court conditions or new criminal charges. Additionally, it specifies that the work time credit provisions do not apply to individuals on probation for misdemeanor offenses, those under lifetime supervision, registered sexual or violent offenders, or those involved in Youth Court proceedings. The bill includes definitions for "eligible employment" and "supporting documentation" to clarify the requirements for participation in the work time credit program.
