The proposed legislation establishes a system for granting work time credit to probationers and parolees in Montana, allowing for a reduction in their supervision period based on eligible employment. Specifically, probationers or parolees can earn 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 circumstances under which work time credit must be revoked, including violations of court conditions, new felony charges, or misdemeanor charges that could lead to incarceration for over six months. Additionally, certain individuals, such as those under lifetime supervision or required to register as sexual or violent offenders, are excluded from this work time credit system. The legislation includes definitions for "eligible employment" and "supporting documentation" to clarify the requirements for participation in the program.
