What does it do?

HB1024 requires a law enforcement agency to execute a warrant as soon as practicable when it is directed to that agency and seeks the return of a person in the super-intensive supervision program for violating a parole or mandatory-supervision condition related to electronic monitoring. In everyday terms, the agency must act promptly when it reasonably can; the law does not set a fixed number of hours.

The rule is narrower than a requirement covering every parole violation or every person with an electronic monitor. It concerns an already-issued warrant for the specified program and violation. It does not itself create a new crime or automatically revoke someone’s release. “Releasee” means a person released on parole or to mandatory supervision.

The law took effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to arrest warrants issued on or after that date. Earlier warrants remain governed by the law in effect when issued. Official history

Who could benefit—and who could bear the costs?

The public and people responsible for supervision could benefit from quicker action on the covered warrants. Affected releasees can face a more prompt return to custody. Agencies must fit this duty into their operational work; the statute does not promise that every warrant will be executed immediately or establish a guaranteed response time.

Both Legislative Budget Board fiscal notes anticipated no significant fiscal implication for the state or local governments and assumed state costs could be absorbed using existing resources. That is a budget estimate, not a claim that execution requires no officer time. The bill provides no separate appropriation. Introduced fiscal note · Engrossed fiscal note
