Amend KRS 533.020 to provide the court 60 days after the expiration of any period of supervision to determine if a violation of the period of supervision has occurred and any appropriate action; provide that a period of supervision shall be tolled between the issuance of a warrant for any violation of supervision and the defendant's first appearance before the court after service of the warrant.

Plain-language summary
This bill changes the rules around probation and supervised release by giving courts 60 days after a supervision period ends to decide whether a violation occurred and what to do about it. It also pauses, or "tolls," the clock on a person's supervision period from the moment a warrant is issued for a violation until they appear in court. This prevents the supervision period from running out while a violation is still being processed. Who it may affect: people currently on probation or court-supervised release, and courts handling supervision violation cases.
