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 court retains the authority to specify the term of probation, which cannot exceed five years for felony or second offense misdemeanor convictions and two years for first offense misdemeanors. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the court can modify or eliminate conditions of probation or add new conditions during the probation term, and it emphasizes that administrative sanctions can be imposed by the probation officer with the probationer's consent.
The bill also includes provisions for notifying probationers about their eligibility to have their convictions set aside upon successful completion of probation. It mandates that the State Court Administrator develop standardized advisement language and necessary forms to facilitate this process. The original section 29-2263 is repealed, indicating that the new provisions will replace the previous law.
