Intensive Probation Act
Summary
This Act would require all drug offenders who otherwise would have received a sentence to participate in a probation program,
to participate in an intensive probation program, and would offer judges the option of placing other specified types of
offenders who would otherwise be sentenced to participate in a probation program, in an intensive probation program.
The Act would establish requirements for participation in an intensive probation program and stipulate the conditions for
expulsion from the program. Participants who are expelled from the program would be required to serve out their term of
incarceration.

ALEC EXPOSED
“ALEC” has long been a
secretive collaboration
between Big Business and
“conservative” politicians.
Behind closed doors, they
ghostwrite “model” bills to
be introduced in state
capitols across the country.
This agenda--underwritten
by global corporations-includes major tax
loopholes for big industries
and the super rich,
proposals to offshore U.S.
jobs and gut minimum
wage, and efforts to
weaken public health,
safety, and environmental
protections. Although many
of these bills have become
law, until now, their origin
has been largely unknown.
With ALEC EXPOSED, the
Center for Media and
Democracy hopes more
Americans will study the
bills to understand the
depth and breadth of how
big corporations are
changing the legal rules
and undermining democracy
across the nation.
