Courts would base probation jail limits on violation hearings

Courts would base sentencing limits on hearings where one or more covered probation rule violations are found. The provisions cover people facing jail for the specified probation rule violations in Pennsylvania. These limits apply when a court ends probation and orders jail for technical violations—violations of probation rules—covered by paragraph (1)(ii) or (iii). The court must consider whether the person is employed. These provisions would take effect 60 days after enactment.
