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 it is determined 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 subdivisions if similar conditions are met. The bill also clarifies that probationers cannot be required to pay more than one monthly fee and outlines the process for fee collection.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that when a motion to revoke probation is filed, the probation term may be extended upon the joint request of the probationer and prosecutor until the resolution of the motion or the expiration of the maximum probation period. This extension is contingent upon the probationer being represented by counsel or making the request knowingly and voluntarily in court. Overall, the bill aims to provide more equitable treatment for probationers regarding fees and the revocation process.
