again after 5 years from the date of his or her release from

 

incarceration, placement on probation, or conviction, whichever is

 

later.

 

     (b) "Technical parole violation" means a violation of the

 

terms of a parolee's parole order that is not in and of itself a

 

violation of a law of this state, a political subdivision of this

state, another state, or the United States or of tribal law.

 

     (c) "Technical probation violation" means a violation of the

 

terms of a probationer's probation order that is not in and of

 

itself a violation of a law of this state, a political subdivision

 

of this state, another state, or the United States or of tribal

 

law.

 

     (2) Any data collected and maintained under this act regarding

 

recidivism rates must be collected and maintained in a manner that
