Bill at a glance

  • Introduced: March 3, 2025
  • Status: Referred to the Crime Victims, Crime and Correction committee
  • Primary sponsor: Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda
  • Related bills (prior-session): S 4353, S 6282

Purpose and intent

S 5793 seeks to repeal specific provisions of the Executive Law that govern probation and to prohibit certain fees connected to probation. The bill appears designed to limit or remove the regulatory framework governing probation administration contained in the Executive Law and to eliminate or restrict fees assessed in relation to probation supervision or services.

Key provisions (as described)

  • Repeal of provisions: The bill would repeal unspecified portions of the Executive Law that currently govern probation. The exact sections to be repealed are not listed in the summary provided.
  • Fee prohibitions: The bill would prohibit certain fees related to probation. The precise fee types or circumstances prohibited by the bill are not enumerated in the summary.

Note: The available information does not include the full text of the bill, so the specific statutory provisions repealed and the exact scope of the fee prohibitions are not detailed here.

Who would be affected

  • Probation agencies and offices operating under the Executive Law (state and/or local entities implementing probation supervision)
  • Individuals under probation supervision who may be subject to fees related to probation services (to the extent such fees exist and would be prohibited by the bill)
  • Entities involved in collecting, imposing, or processing probation-related fees

Procedural status and timeline

  • Introduced and first referred to committee on March 3, 2025
  • Referred to: Crime Victims, Crime and Correction (the bill’s only listed committee referral)
  • Current status indicates it is in committee review; no further action is listed in the provided material. If advanced, it would proceed through additional committee consideration, potential amendments, and floor votes, followed by passage in the other legislative chamber and potential gubernatorial action. Timelines depend on committee scheduling and legislative priorities.

Relationship to related legislation

  • Related bills from prior sessions include S 4353 and S 6282, which likely addressed similar topics regarding probation and related fees. These connections may provide context for the current bill’s approach and policy goals.

Potential impact and considerations

  • Policy intent: The bill aims to simplify or remove parts of the Executive Law related to probation and to eliminate certain probation-related fees, which could reduce financial burdens on individuals under probation and change how probation services are administered.
  • Administrative and fiscal considerations: Repealing statutory provisions could affect how probation is regulated and funded, potentially altering administrative duties for probation departments and the revenue from any previously authorized fees.
  • Implementation questions: Without the full text, questions remain about which specific provisions are repealed, the scope of prohibited fees, transitional provisions, and how the repeal would interact with existing probation practices and funding mechanisms.

This summary reflects the information currently available. Access to the bill’s full text would clarify exact repeal language, fee prohibitions, and any transitional or fiscal provisions.
