This bill amends section 83-1,119 of the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act to update the provisions related to substance abuse violations of parole and the process for revocation. Key changes include the introduction of new definitions, such as "substance abuse violation," which encompasses behaviors like positive drug tests and failure to complete treatment. The bill also establishes a framework for administrative sanctions that can be imposed by parole officers for violations, allowing for a range of responses from increased supervision to custodial sanctions of up to thirty days in a correctional facility.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the procedures that parole officers must follow when they suspect a parolee has committed a substance abuse violation. It allows for the imposition of administrative sanctions or the submission of a report to the Board of Parole, which can then determine the appropriate course of action, including the possibility of revocation of parole. The bill also includes provisions for handling situations where a parolee poses a risk of fleeing or endangering lives or property, allowing for immediate arrest without a warrant. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance accountability and provide structured responses to violations while ensuring the safety of the community.
