An Act To Further Protect Victims From Contact Prohibited By Probation Conditions

LD 43 amends Maine law to expand when probation can be revoked for violating contact orders with victims. Currently, probation can be revoked only for contacting a victim from the *same* crime. This bill adds that probation can also be revoked if someone contacts a victim from *another crime* where contact was prohibited - whether the related sentences run concurrently or consecutively. It directly affects individuals on probation who violate contact conditions with victims from multiple cases. The change ensures courts can revoke probation for such violations, strengthening protections for all affected victims.
