Change sanctions available for substance abuse violations of parole

Summary

The proposal lets parole officers respond to drug or alcohol violations with non‑custodial sanctions—such as extra counseling, testing, curfews, or travel limits—or, with board approval, a short 30‑day jail stay instead of revoking parole. It targets parolees who breach substance‑use conditions but are not deemed a danger or likely to flee. The goal is to provide more graduated consequences while keeping offenders under supervision.
