MODERATE
This bill significantly expands the Reagan Tokes and Patrick Heringer Act by adding new cosponsors and clarifying the legal framework for sentencing and supervision. It introduces stricter rules for terminating post-release control, mandates GPS monitoring for specific offenders, and creates a new 'voluntary county' program to allow certain low-level felony sentences to be served in community settings rather than prisons. The bill also updates warrant entry requirements into state and federal databases and clarifies procedures for handling misdemeanor warrants.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include new cosponsors and refined the applicability of sentencing rules for offenders on post-release control and transitional control. It specifically targets offenders convicted of lower-degree felonies in 'voluntary counties' for community-based sentencing alternatives.
SCOPE

Added new cosponsors to the bill, indicating broader legislative support.

REQUIREMENT

ELIGIBILITY

Created a new 'voluntary county' program allowing offenders sentenced to fifth-degree felonies (after July 1, 2018) and fourth-degree felonies (after September 1, 2022) to serve sentences in community facilities instead of prisons, with specific exclusions for violent or repeat offenders.

ENFORCEMENT

Modified warrant procedures to require entry into LEADS and NCIC databases within 48 hours for tier one offenses and added notification requirements for public safety answering points.

DEFINITION

Added specific definitions for 'targeted violent offender' and 'voluntary county' to clarify eligibility for new sentencing programs.

TIMELINE

Established specific effective dates for new sentencing rules, such as July 1, 2018, for fifth-degree felonies and September 1, 2022, for fourth-degree felonies in voluntary counties.
