A couple of probation related Senate bills passed the House: Senate Bill 0098 Probation revocation. Permits a judge to order execution of all or part
of a probationer’s suspended sentence if the probationer violates a condition of probation. (Current law only permits the court to order execution of all of the probationer’s suspended sentence.) Passed 95-1.
Meanwhile, SB 101 regarding modification of the terms of probation also passed 95-1. Permits a court to hold a new probation hearing and modify a probationer’s conditions of probation at any time during the probationary period. Requires the court to notify the probationer of the hearing.
For those of you keeping score, Representative Fry (D-Mishawaka) voted “nay” on both of them for some reason.
