The bill amends subsection 2 of section 12.1-32-06.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing the commencement date of supervised probation when an alternative to incarceration is court-ordered. The amendment clarifies that the length of supervised probation for various offenses, including felony and misdemeanor charges, will begin from the later of three specified dates: the order imposing probation, the defendant's release from incarceration, or the termination of the defendant's parole.

A significant insertion in the bill is the addition of "or an alternative to incarceration" to the criteria for determining the start date of supervised probation. This change ensures that individuals who are sentenced to alternatives to incarceration will have their probation periods calculated in the same manner as those who are incarcerated, thereby providing consistency in the application of probation terms.
