This bill amends sections 29-2262.06 and 29-2267 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, focusing on the revocation of probation and the waiver of probation fees. Key changes include the introduction of provisions that allow the court to waive monthly probation programming fees if the offender has been previously found indigent or if a hearing determines that payment would cause undue hardship due to limited income or other factors. Additionally, the bill specifies that the court must waive fees related to certain sections if similar conditions are met. The bill also clarifies the fee structure for probationers, including a one-time administrative enrollment fee and monthly programming fees based on the type of probation.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for revoking probation, ensuring that probationers are entitled to a hearing where violations must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. It introduces a provision allowing for the extension of the probation term at the joint request of the probationer and prosecutor until the resolution of any revocation motion or the expiration of the maximum probation period. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, streamlining the legal framework surrounding probation procedures in Nebraska.
