HB 821 -- PROBATION AND PAROLE

SPONSOR: Evans

This bill specifies that the court may modify the conditions of an offender's probation as appropriate and may order the offender's continued supervision by either the Division of Probation and Parole or the court.

Additionally, where there is probable cause that an offender committed a felony while on probation or parole for a felony offense, he or she may be presumed to pose a danger and held for a violation hearing.

The bill also modifies the relevant evidence for granting bail by including factors such as whether a defendant is a flight risk or has previously been found guilty of specified crimes.

This bill is similar to HB 1520 (2020).
