Private Probation and Court Ordered Services Amendments

Added a new subsection (k) explicitly prohibiting private probation providers from simultaneously providing private probation services and other compensated services to a defendant.

Revised the reporting requirements to ensure the information provided to county sheriffs complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Corrected grammatical errors and inconsistent terminology in the original text, such as changing 'contract probation supervisor' to 'contract probation provider' and fixing sentence fragments.

Adjusted the punctuation and formatting of the prohibition against soliciting defendants on court property to improve clarity.

The definition of 'licensee' was updated to align with the definition of 'human services program' found in Section 26B-2-101, broadening the regulatory reach to include these programs under the same standards.

The prohibition on providing both private probation and other compensated services was clarified to apply generally to human services programs, with a specific exception allowing simultaneous services only if no other provider is within 50 miles and the defendant gives written informed consent.

Reporting requirements were adjusted to require monthly reports to county sheriffs detailing supervised individuals, their crimes, the level of supervision provided, and other relevant information compliant with HIPAA.

Conflict of interest rules were strengthened to require providers to disclose potential conflicts and refrain from providing services if a conflict exists or appears to exist.

Several technical edits were made to correct grammar, remove redundant language, and streamline the text regarding court orders and duty performance.
