Item 1

 
protect the safety of an individual or the public and if all
reasonable efforts have been made to give written or oral notice to
the person on probation. Any requirements added pursuant to an ex
parte motion do not take effect until written notice of the
requirements, along with written notice of the scheduled date, time
and place when the court shall hold a hearing on the added
requirements, is given to the person on probation.

 
Sec. 9. 17-A MRSA §1202, sub-§2-A, as enacted by PL 2003, c. 711, Pt.
A, §13, is amended to read:

 
2-A. Once the period of probation has commenced, on
application motion of the probation officer, or of the person on
probation, or on the court's own motion, the court may convert at
any time a period of probation for a Class D or Class E crime or
a Class C crime under Title 29-A, section 2557 to a period of
administrative release. A conversion to administrative release
may not be ordered upon the motion of the person on probation
unless notice of the motion is given to the probation officer by
the person on probation and the attorney for the State. The
provisions of chapter 54-G apply when probation is converted to
administrative release. Conversion to administrative release
serves to relieve the person on probation of any obligations
imposed by the probation conditions.

 
Sec. 10. 17-A MRSA §1202, sub-§3, as amended by PL 2003, c. 711, Pt.
A, §14, is further amended to read:

 
3. Once the period of probation has commenced, on application
motion of the probation officer, or of the person on probation,
or on its own motion, the court may terminate at any time a
period of probation and discharge the convicted person at any
time earlier than that provided in the sentence made pursuant to
subsection 1, if warranted by the conduct of such person. A
termination and discharge may not be ordered upon the motion of
the person on probation unless notice of the motion is given to
the probation officer by the person on probation and the attorney
for the State. Such termination and discharge serves to relieve
the person on probation of any obligations imposed by the
sentence of probation.

 
Sec. 11. 17-A MRSA §1348-A, sub-§3 is enacted to read:

 
3.__During the period of deferment, if the person cannot meet
a deferment requirement imposed by the court, the person shall
bring a motion pursuant to subsection 2.

 
Sec. 12. 17-A MRSA §1348-B, sub-§§1, 2 and 5, as enacted by PL 2003, c.
711, Pt. A, §19, are amended to read:
