Probation: felons: disqualifying circumstances.

Existing law defines probation to mean the suspension of the imposition or execution of a sentence and the order of conditional and revocable release in the community under the supervision of a probation officer. Existing law authorizes probation for some, but not all, felony convictions. Existing law prohibits granting probation for a felony conviction for, among other instances, a person who is convicted of a violent felony or a serious felony and who was on probation or parole for a felony offense at the time of the commission of the new felony offense. This bill would similarly make that probation unavailable to a person who is convicted of a violent felony or a serious felony and who was on mandatory supervision or postrelease community supervision for a felony offense at the time of the commission of the new felony offense.
