Section 7-13-305 - Determination, continuance or extension; revocation proceedings(a) The period of probation or suspension of sentence under W.S. 7-13-302 shall be determined by the court and may be reduced, continued or extended. Any term of probation including any continuations or extensions shall not exceed the maximum term of probation authorized under W.S. 7 13 302(b), except that the judge may impose a term of probation that is not greater than the maximum term of imprisonment authorized by law for the offense for good cause shown upon the record and after considering public safety, rehabilitation, deterrence and any other goals of sentencing. In determining the period of probation or a modification of an existing probation, the court may consider, but is not limited to the following factors:(i) Whether the defendant has stable employment;(ii) Whether the defendant has positive community support;(iii) Whether the defendant has positive familial support;(iv) Whether the defendant has reasonably attended to spousal or parental responsibilities and whether the terms of probation assist or hinder the defendant in discharging those responsibilities;(v) Whether the defendant has made progress in affirmatively addressing any alcohol or substance abuse issues. For the purposes of this paragraph, relapse alone does not prevent the court from determining the defendant has made progress in addressing his alcohol or substance use issues;(vi) The nature and seriousness of the underlying crime;(vii) The risk posed by the defendant to the community;(viii) The risk of reoffense as determined by a validated risk assessment tool utilized by the department of corrections.(b) Upon the satisfactory fulfillment of the conditions of suspension of sentence or probation under W.S. 7-13-302 the court shall enter an order discharging the defendant.(c) For a violation of a condition of probation occurring during the probationary period, revocation proceedings may be commenced at any time during the period of suspension of sentence or probation under W.S. 7-13-302, or within thirty (30) days thereafter, in which case the court may issue a warrant and cause the defendant to be arrested. If after hearing the court determines that the defendant violated any of the terms of probation or suspension of sentence, the court may proceed to deal with the case as if no suspension of sentence or probation had been ordered.(d) The time for commencing revocation proceedings shall be automatically extended for any period of time in which the probationer is incarcerated outside this state during the probationary period for the conviction of an offense which is a violation of the conditions of probation, unless the probationer has made a valid request for final disposition under the interstate agreement on detainers, W.S. 7-15-101 through 7-15-105.Amended by Laws 2019 , ch. 101, § 1, eff. 7/1/2019.Amended by Laws 2019 , ch. 37, § 1, eff. 2/15/2019.
