Order on Request to Terminate Probation Developed

As stated previously in the Report to Idaho Courts re: Uniform Business Practices to Implement Legislative and Rule Changes, the new justice reinvestment legislation authorizes any party or the IDOC to apply directly to the court to modify or terminate probation. Per Idaho Code section 20-221(3), the court shall rule on the request for discharge within sixty (60) days of the date of the submittal of the request. As such, it is important that any request to terminate probation filed with the court be IMMEDIATELY FORWARDED to the assigned judge for consideration. It is recommend that judges determine whether or not it is best for their court to set a hearing on the petition upon receipt (to preserve a date that can be vacated later if deemed unnecessary) or to wait until after review of any response to the request (due on or before thirty (30) days of the date of submittal of the request) to determine if a hearing will be set. To assist the courts, the District Judges Workgroup have developed a form: “Order on Request to Terminate Probation.” Click here: Report to Idaho Courts re Uniform Business Practices to Implement Legislative and Rule Changes (2014).
