Probation or post-release suspension; may be revoked if new felony is committed while individual is on.

HB 1397 would allow Mississippi courts to revoke probation or post-release supervision before it begins if a person commits a new felony crime during the waiting period before supervision starts. Currently, revocation typically applies only to violations during active supervision, but this bill extends that rule to cover pre-commencement felonies. It directly affects individuals sentenced to probation or supervision who commit new felonies while awaiting the start of their supervision period. The bill amends Section 47-7-37.1 of Mississippi law to make this change effective July 1, 2025.
