SF 38 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Limitation on length of probation.

Wyoming's SF 38 limits probation terms for certain offenders to a maximum of 42 months, applying to felony convictions (excluding violent crimes like murder or sexual assault) and first-time drug offenses under specific statutes. The bill caps probation duration at 42 months for most cases, though judges may extend it beyond this limit for "good cause" after considering public safety and rehabilitation goals. It directly affects individuals sentenced under Wyoming statutes 7-13-301, 7-13-302, and 35-7-1037, including those convicted of non-violent felonies or first-time possession of controlled substances. The law took effect July 1, 2019, replacing prior rules that allowed longer probation terms for some offenses.
