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," which expands the circumstances under which the probation period may commence. This change aims to ensure that individuals who are sentenced to alternatives to incarceration are also accounted for in the probation timeline, thereby providing clarity and consistency in the application of probation laws.
