What This Bill Does

This bill modifies the Private Probation Provider Licensing Act.

Key Provisions

This bill:

  • modifies a defined term;
  • clarifies that a human services program generally may not provide both:
    • private probation services; and
    • other compensated services;
  • provides enforcement; and
  • makes technical and conforming changes.

Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Under existing law, private probation providers are prohibited from simultaneously charging a defendant for both probation supervision and other services like mental health therapy, education, or rehabilitation. This bill updates the terminology used in that rule — replacing "licensee" with "human services program" — and adds an explicit enforcement mechanism requiring the state to revoke the license of any provider that violates the prohibition. The narrow exception allowing a provider to offer both services remains in place only when no other qualifying provider exists within 50 miles and the defendant gives written informed consent.
