Item 50 #1c

Item 50 #1c
Judicial Department
Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission

Language
Page 29, strike lines 23 through 37, and insert:
"B.  Notwithstanding the fourth enactment of Chapter 845 of the Acts of Assembly of 2010, there may be established up to four immediate sanction probation programs by localities in the Commonwealth pursuant to the provisions of the first enactment of Chapter 845.  In addition, two years following the creation of any locally established immediate sanction probation program, the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission shall report on or before January 12 to the Chairmen of the House and Senate Courts of Justice Committees, as required by the second enactment of Chapter 845, an analysis of the operations and costs of any locally established immediate sanction probation program and the characteristics and outcomes associated with offenders participating in that immediate sanction program.  Copies of this report shall also be transmitted to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees."

Explanation
(This amendment eliminates language contained in the introduced budget directing the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to establish and evaluate up to ten new immediate sanctioning pilot programs for technical probation violations, and, instead, provides for the extension of an existing statute (Chapter 845 of the 2010 Acts of Assembly) and authorization for up to four localities to establish such programs at their discretion.)
