This bill amends section 29-2263 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to allow for the extension of probation terms upon a joint application from both the probation officer and the probationer. The current law specifies that the court must set a probation term of no more than five years for felony or second offense misdemeanor convictions and two years for first offense misdemeanors. The amendment introduces new language that permits the court to extend the probation term within these limits, enhancing the flexibility of probation management.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing provisions regarding the discharge of probationers and the conditions of probation. It emphasizes that the court can modify or eliminate conditions during the probation term and that probationers may be eligible to have their convictions set aside upon satisfactory completion of their probation. The original section 29-2263 is repealed, consolidating the updated provisions into the revised statute.
