(2) To be eligible to receive funding from the supervising region incentive fund created in section 3 under the supervising region incentive program under subsection (1), a field operations administration region shall enter into an agreement with the department to seek a measurable reduction in parole and probation revocations, by implementing the practices, procedures, and sanctions, as applicable, under the parole sanction certainty act in chapter IIIB of the corrections code of 1953, 1953 PA 232, MCL 791.258 to 791.258g, as well as other efforts to reduce parole and probation revocations.

(3) The department shall make an equal share of 20% of the total incentive funds available in the supervising region incentive fund created in section 3 for each field operations administration region in this state, calculated by the number of field operations administration regions in this state that agree to participate in the supervising region incentive program and the total amount of money in the fund, available to a field operations administration region that enters into an agreement under subsection (2) to be used by the field operations administration region to begin implementing the supervision practices described in subsection (2).

(4) If a field operations administration region accesses funds under subsection (3), the time period for seeking a measurable reduction in parole and probation revocations begins to run.

(5) A field operations administration region shall work with local law enforcement agencies within the region, including the sheriff's departments, circuit courts, county prosecutor's offices, and community corrections programs in developing the region's plan to reduce parole and probation revocations.

(6) Except as provided in subsection (3), a field operations administration region shall only receive incentive funding under this section for the quarters in which the field operations administration region achieves a measurable reduction in parole and probation revocations, as compared to the previous quarter.

(7) If a field operations administration region is eligible to receive funding under subsection (6), the department shall, on a quarterly basis, provide the field operations administration region an equal share of 20% of the total incentive funds available in the supervising region incentive fund created in section 3 calculated as described under subsection (3).

(8) A field operations administration region that receives incentive funding under this section shall divide the funds between the parole and probation divisions within the field operations administration region in a manner that is commensurate to the percentage of offenders in each division.
