This Act reflects a recommendation of the 2019 Comprehensive Reentry Plan and Progress Report which allows the Department of Corrections, Probation and Parole officers the flexibility to recommend to a court house arrest (Level IV home confinement) for any probation violator in appropriate circumstances. Under current law, Probation and Parole may not recommend house arrest (Level IV home confinement) for a person who violates probation if the person was initially convicted of a violent crime. Accordingly, recommendations pertaining to probation violations for persons convicted of a violent crime are limited to Levels 1-3 (a lower level of supervision) or Level V (incarceration) which may be excessive and costly.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Probation And Parole Recommendatons For House Arrest.
