    Section 1.  Section 904.207, Code 2016, is amended to read
 as follows:
    904.207  Violator facility.
    The director shall may establish a violator facility as a
 freestanding facility, or designate a portion of an existing
 correctional facility for the purpose. A violator facility
 is for the temporary confinement of offenders who have
 violated conditions of release under work release or parole
 as defined in section 906.1, or probation granted as a result
 of suspension of a sentence to the custody of the director of
 the department of corrections. The If a violator facility is
 established, the director shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter
 17A, subject to the approval of the board, to implement this
 section.
    Sec. 2.  Section 905.11, Code 2016, is amended to read as
 follows:
    905.11  Residential facility residency == minimum.
    A person who is serving a sentence under section 902.12, the
 maximum term of which exceeds ten years, and who is released
 on parole or work release shall reside in a residential
 facility operated by the district department for a period
 of not less than one year until such time as the district
 department recommends to the board of parole that the person
 may be supervised in the community rather than in a residential
 facility and the board of parole approves the recommendation.
