House Bill 396, sponsored by Rep. Kim Moser and Rep. Jason Nemes, includes many of the reforms recommended by the Governor’s Criminal Justice Policy Assessment Council Justice Reinvestment work group. These reforms include restricting the use of incarceration as a sanction for technical violation of parole and probation conditions, and instead would expand the use of swift, certain, and proportional sanctions to address this behavior.
