C. The Department of Corrections shall continue a pilot project directed at achieving effective punishment, control and rehabilitation of felony offenders who are under probation or post-release supervision and could be found to be in technical violation of their supervisory conditions. Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 19.2-316.2 and 19.2-316.3, Code of Virginia, the pilot project shall allow the Division of Community Corrections to directly refer appropriate offenders to the state detention center incarceration program and diversion center incarceration program without initiating a judicial hearing. The Department of Corrections shall incorporate appropriate procedures to ensure that the referred offenders are those who (i) are most appropriate for such referrals and (ii) pose no significant risk to public safety. The pilot project shall be implemented in selected jurisdictions in a timely manner, as the Department of Corrections deems appropriate. By September 1 of each year, the Department of Corrections shall report to the Secretary of Public Safety, the chairmen of the House Committees on Appropriation and Courts of Justice, and the chairmen of the Senate Committees on Finance and Courts of Justice on the implementation and effectiveness of this initiative.
