Notwithstanding any administrative regulation or law to the contrary, including
KRS 439.340(3)(b), the department or board may:
(a) Modify the conditions of community supervision for the limited purpose of
imposing graduated sanctions; and
(b) Place a supervised individual who violates the conditions of community
supervision in a state or local correctional or detention facility or
residential center for a period of not more than ten (10) days
consecutively, and not more than thirty (30) days in any one (1) calendar
year. The department shall reimburse the local correctional or detention
facility or residential center for the costs of incarcerating a person
confined under this paragraph at the rate specified in KRS 532.100.
A probation and parole officer intending to modify the conditions of community
supervision by imposing a graduated sanction shall issue to the supervised
individual a notice of the intended sanction. The notice shall inform the
supervised individual of the technical violation or violations alleged, the date or
dates of the violation or violations, and the graduated sanction to be imposed.
The imposition of a graduated sanction or sanctions by a probation and parole
officer shall comport with the system of graduated sanctions adopted by the
department under KRS 439.3107. Upon receipt of the notice, the supervised
individual shall immediately accept or object to the sanction or sanctions
proposed by the officer. The failure of the supervised individual to comply with
a sanction shall constitute a violation of community supervision.
If the supervised individual objects to the imposition of the sanction or
sanctions, then:
(a) If the supervised individual is serving a period of parole or post-release
supervision from prison or jail, then the administrative process
promulgated under KRS 439.3107(3) shall apply; or
(b) If the supervised individual is on probation, then the provisions of KRS
533.050 shall apply.
If the graduated sanction involves confinement in a correctional or detention
facility, confinement shall be approved by the probation and parole district
supervisor, but the supervised individual may be taken into custody for up to
four (4) hours while such approval is obtained. If the supervised individual is
employed, the probation and parole officer shall, to the extent feasible, impose
this sanction on weekend days or other days and times when the supervised
individual is not working.
A sanction that confines a supervised individual in a correctional or detention
facility for a period of more than ten (10) consecutive days, or extends the term
of community supervision, shall not be imposed as a graduated sanction,
except pursuant to an order of the court or the board.
Upon successful completion of a graduated sanction or sanctions, a court may
not revoke the term of community supervision or impose additional sanctions
for the same violation.
If a probation and parole officer modifies the conditions of community
supervision by imposing a graduated sanction, the officer shall:
(a) Deliver a copy of the modified conditions to the supervised individual;
(b) File a copy of the modified conditions with the sentencing court or
releasing authority; and
(c) Note the date of delivery of the copy in the supervised individuals file or
case management system.
