| Allowing the courts more discretion to place offenders on probation for certain Class D, E or Title 29 offenses would, in part, reverse the intent and impact of Chapter 711, PL of 2003 (LD 1903) by shifting probation resources to supervise low risk cases. This will result in additional costs to the department. | |||||||||
