ment program.
(b) (1) As a part of the presentence

include a statewide, mandatory,
standardized risk assessment tool and an instrument validated for

than a felony conviction of
K.S.A. 65-4160 or 65-4162, and amendments thereto; or
(B) has a pattern of intentional conduct

fender's refusal to comply with or participate in the treatment
program,
as established by judicial finding.
(2) Offenders who are discharged from

New Sec. 2. (a) Drug abuse
treatment programs certified in accord-
ance with subsection (b) shall provide:
(1) Presentence drug abuse assessments of
any person who is con-
victed of a felony violation of K.S.A. 65-4160 or 65-4162, and
amendments
thereto, and meets the requirements of section 1, and
amendments
thereto;
(2) treatment of all persons who are
convicted of a felony violation
of K.S.A. 65-4160 or 65-4162, and amendments thereto, and meet
the
requirements of section 1, and amendments thereto, and whose
sentence
requires completion of a certified drug abuse treatment program, as
pro-
vided in this section;
(3) one or more treatment options in the
continuum of services

continuing care
and aftercare, and relapse prevention;
(4) treatment options to incorporate
family and auxiliary support serv-
ices; and
(5) treatment options for alcohol abuse
when indicated by the as-
sessment of the offender or required by the court.
(b) The presentence criminal risk-need
assessment shall be con-
ducted by a court services officer or a community corrections
officer. The
presentence drug abuse treatment program placement assessment
shall
be conducted by a drug abuse treatment program certified in
accordance
with the provisions of this subsection to provide assessment and
treatment
services. A drug abuse treatment program shall be certified by the
sec-
retary of corrections. The secretary may establish qualifications
for the
certification of programs, which may include requirements for
supervi-
sion and monitoring of clients; fee reimbursement procedures;
handling
of conflicts of interest; delivery of services to clients unable to
pay; and
other matters relating to quality and delivery of services by the
program.
Drug abuse treatment may include community based and faith
based
programs. The certification shall be for a four-year period.
Recertification
of a program shall be by the secretary. To be eligible for
certification
under this subsection, the secretary shall determine that a drug
abuse
treatment program: (1) Meets the qualifications established by the
sec-
retary; (2) is capable of providing the assessments, supervision
and mon-
itoring required under subsection (a); (3) has employed or
contracted with
certified treatment providers; and (4) meets any other functions
and du-
ties specified by law.

employed or has contracted with
a certified drug abuse treatment program who provides services to
of-
fenders shall be certified by the secretary of corrections. The
secretary
shall require education and training which shall include, but not
be lim-
ited to, case management and cognitive behavior training. The
duties of
providers who prepare the presentence drug abuse assessment may
also
include appearing at sentencing and probation hearings in
accordance
with the orders of the court, monitoring offenders in the treatment
pro-
grams, notifying the probation department and the court of any
offender
failing to meet the conditions of probation or referrals to
treatment, ap-
pearing at revocation hearings as may be required and providing
assis-
tance and data reporting and program evaluation.
(d) The cost for all drug abuse
assessments and certified drug abuse
treatment programs for any person shall be paid by the Kansas
sentencing
commission from funds appropriated for such purpose. The Kansas
sen-
tencing commission shall contract for payment for such services
with the
supervising agency. The sentencing court shall determine the
extent, if
any, that such person is able to pay for such assessment and
treatment.
Such payments shall be used by the supervising agency to offset
costs to
the state. If such financial obligations are not met or cannot be
met, the
sentencing court shall be notified for the purpose of collection or
review
and further action on the offender's sentence.
(e) The community corrections staff shall
work with the substance
abuse treatment staff to ensure effective supervision and
monitoring of
the offender.
(f) The secretary of corrections is
hereby authorized to adopt rules
and regulations to carry out the provisions of this section.
Sec. 3. On and after November 1,
2003, K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-4603d
is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4603d. (a) Whenever any
person
has been found guilty of a crime, the court may adjudge any of the
fol-
lowing:
(1) Commit the defendant to the custody
of the secretary of correc-
tions if the current crime of conviction is a felony and the
sentence pre-
sumes imprisonment, or the sentence imposed is a dispositional
departure
to imprisonment; or, if confinement is for a misdemeanor, to jail
for the
term provided by law;
(2) impose the fine applicable to the
offense;
(3) release the defendant on probation if
the current crime of con-
viction and criminal history fall within a presumptive nonprison
category
or through a departure for substantial and compelling reasons
subject to
such conditions as the court may deem appropriate. In felony cases
except
for violations of K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto, the court
may
include confinement in a county jail not to exceed 60 days, which
need
not be served consecutively, as a condition of an original
probation sen-
tence and up to 60 days in a county jail upon each revocation of
the
probation sentence, or community corrections placement;
(4) assign the defendant to a community
correctional services pro-
gram as provided in K.S.A. 75-5291, and amendments thereto, or
through
a departure for substantial and compelling reasons subject to such
con-
ditions as the court may deem appropriate, including orders
requiring full
or partial restitution;
(5) assign the defendant to a
conservation camp for a period not to
exceed six months as a condition of probation followed by a
six-month
period of follow-up through adult intensive supervision by a
community
correctional services program, if the offender successfully
completes the
conservation camp program;
(6) assign the defendant to a house
arrest program pursuant to K.S.A.
21-4603b and amendments thereto;
(7) order the defendant to attend and
satisfactorily complete an al-
cohol or drug education or training program as provided by
subsection
(3) of K.S.A. 21-4502 and amendments thereto;
(8) order the defendant to repay the
amount of any reward paid by
any crime stoppers chapter, individual, corporation or public
entity which
materially aided in the apprehension or conviction of the
defendant; repay
the amount of any costs and expenses incurred by any law
enforcement
agency in the apprehension of the defendant, if one of the current
crimes
of conviction of the defendant includes escape, as defined in
K.S.A. 21-
3809 and amendments thereto or aggravated escape, as defined in
K.S.A.
21-3810 and amendments thereto; repay expenses incurred by a
fire dis-
trict, fire department or fire company responding to a fire
which has been
determined to be arson under K.S.A. 21-3718 or 21-3719, and
amend-
ments thereto, if the defendant is convicted of such crime;
or repay the
amount of any public funds utilized by a law enforcement agency to
pur-
chase controlled substances from the defendant during the
investigation
which leads to the defendant's conviction. Such repayment of the
amount
of any such costs and expenses incurred by a law enforcement
agency,
fire district, fire department or fire company or any public
funds utilized
by a law enforcement agency shall be deposited and credited to the
same
fund from which the public funds were credited to prior to use by
the
law enforcement agency, fire district, fire department or fire
company;
(9) order the defendant to pay the
administrative fee authorized by
K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 22-4529 and amendments thereto, unless waived
by
the court;
(10) order the defendant to pay a
domestic violence special program
fee authorized by K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 20-369, and amendments
thereto;
(11) impose any appropriate combination
of (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6),
(7), (8), (9) and (10); or
(12) suspend imposition of sentence in
misdemeanor cases.
(b) (1) In addition to or in lieu
of any of the above, the court shall
order the defendant to pay restitution, which shall include, but
not be
limited to, damage or loss caused by the defendant's crime, unless
the
court finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of
res-
titution unworkable. If the court finds a plan of restitution
unworkable,
the court shall state on the record in detail the reasons
therefor.
(2) If the court orders restitution, the
restitution shall be a judgment
against the defendant which may be collected by the court by
garnishment
or other execution as on judgments in civil cases. If, after 60
days from
the date restitution is ordered by the court, a defendant is found
to be in
noncompliance with the plan established by the court for payment
of
restitution, and the victim to whom restitution is ordered paid has
not
initiated proceedings in accordance with K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 60-4301
et
seq. and amendments thereto, the court shall assign an agent
procured
by the attorney general pursuant to K.S.A. 75-719 and
amendments
thereto to collect the restitution on behalf of the victim. The
administra-
tive judge of each judicial district may assign such cases to an
appropriate
division of the court for the conduct of civil collection
proceedings.
(c) In addition to or in lieu of any of
the above, the court shall order
the defendant to submit to and complete an alcohol and drug
evaluation,
and pay a fee therefor, when required by subsection (4) of K.S.A.
21-
4502 and amendments thereto.
(d) In addition to any of the above, the
court shall order the defend-
ant to reimburse the county general fund for all or a part of the
expend-
itures by the county to provide counsel and other defense services
to the
defendant. Any such reimbursement to the county shall be paid only
after
any order for restitution has been paid in full. In determining the
amount
and method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of
the
financial resources of the defendant and the nature of the burden
that
payment of such sum will impose. A defendant who has been
required
to pay such sum and who is not willfully in default in the payment
thereof
may at any time petition the court which sentenced the defendant
to
waive payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it
appears
to the satisfaction of the court that payment of the amount due
will im-
pose manifest hardship on the defendant or the defendant's
immediate
family, the court may waive payment of all or part of the amount
due or
modify the method of payment.
(e) In imposing a fine the court may
authorize the payment thereof
in installments. In releasing a defendant on probation, the court
shall
direct that the defendant be under the supervision of a court
services
officer. If the court commits the defendant to the custody of the
secretary
of corrections or to jail, the court may specify in its order the
amount of
restitution to be paid and the person to whom it shall be paid if
restitution
is later ordered as a condition of parole
or, conditional release or post-
release supervision.
(f) When a new felony is committed while
the offender is incarcer-
ated and serving a sentence for a felony or while the offender is
on pro-
bation, assignment to a community correctional services program,
parole,
conditional release, or postrelease supervision for a felony, a new
sentence
shall be imposed pursuant to the consecutive sentencing
requirements of
K.S.A. 21-4608, and amendments thereto, and the court may
sentence
the offender to imprisonment for the new conviction, even when the
new
crime of conviction otherwise presumes a nonprison sentence. In
this
event, imposition of a prison sentence for the new crime does not
con-
stitute a departure. When a new felony is committed while the
offender
is on release for a felony pursuant to the provisions of article 28
of chapter
22 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, a new sentence may be
imposed
pursuant to the consecutive sentencing requirements of K.S.A.
21-4608
and amendments thereto, and the court may sentence the offender
to
imprisonment for the new conviction, even when the new crime of
con-
viction otherwise presumes a nonprison sentence. In this event,
imposi-
tion of a prison sentence for the new crime does not constitute a
depar-
ture.
(g) Prior to imposing a dispositional
departure for a defendant whose
offense is classified in the presumptive nonprison grid block of
either
sentencing guideline grid, prior to sentencing a defendant to
incarceration
whose offense is classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the
sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G,
3-H,
or 3-I, 4-E or 4-F of the sentencing
guidelines grid for drug crimes, prior
to sentencing a defendant to incarceration whose offense is
classified in
grid blocks 4-E or 4-F of the sentencing guideline grid for drug
crimes
and whose offense does not meet the requirements of section 1,
and
amendments thereto, prior to revocation of a nonprison sanction
of a
defendant whose offense is classified in grid blocks 4-E or 4-F
of the
sentencing guideline grid for drug crimes and whose offense does
not meet
the requirements of section 1, and amendments thereto, or
prior to rev-
ocation of a nonprison sanction of a defendant whose offense is
classified
in the presumptive nonprison grid block of either sentencing
guideline
grid or grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the sentencing guidelines
grid for
nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G,
3-H, or 3-I, 4-E or
4-F
of the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, the court shall
consider
placement of the defendant in the Labette correctional
conservation
camp, conservation camps established by the secretary of
corrections pur-
suant to K.S.A. 75-52,127, and amendment thereto or a community
in-
termediate sanction center. Pursuant to this paragraph the
defendant
shall not be sentenced to imprisonment if space is available in a
conser-
vation camp or a community intermediate sanction center and the
de-
fendant meets all of the conservation camp's or a community
intermediate
sanction center's placement criteria unless the court states on the
record
the reasons for not placing the defendant in a conservation camp or
a
community intermediate sanction center.
(h) The court in committing a defendant
to the custody of the sec-
retary of corrections shall fix a term of confinement within the
limits
provided by law. In those cases where the law does not fix a term
of
confinement for the crime for which the defendant was convicted,
the
court shall fix the term of such confinement.
(i) In addition to any of the above, the
court shall order the defendant
to reimburse the state general fund for all or a part of the
expenditures
by the state board of indigents' defense services to provide
counsel and
other defense services to the defendant. In determining the amount
and
method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of
the
financial resources of the defendant and the nature of the burden
that
payment of such sum will impose. A defendant who has been
required
to pay such sum and who is not willfully in default in the payment
thereof
may at any time petition the court which sentenced the defendant
to
waive payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it
appears
to the satisfaction of the court that payment of the amount due
will im-
pose manifest hardship on the defendant or the defendant's
immediate
family, the court may waive payment of all or part of the amount
due or
modify the method of payment. The amount of attorney fees to be
in-
cluded in the court order for reimbursement shall be the amount
claimed
by appointed counsel on the payment voucher for indigents' defense
serv-
ices or the amount prescribed by the board of indigents' defense
services
reimbursement tables as provided in K.S.A. 22-4522, and
amendments
thereto, whichever is less.
(j) This section shall not deprive the
court of any authority conferred
by any other Kansas statute to decree a forfeiture of property,
suspend
or cancel a license, remove a person from office, or impose any
other civil
penalty as a result of conviction of crime.
(k) An application for or acceptance of
probation or assignment to a
community correctional services program shall not constitute an
acqui-
escence in the judgment for purpose of appeal, and any convicted
person
may appeal from such conviction, as provided by law, without regard
to
whether such person has applied for probation, suspended sentence
or
assignment to a community correctional services program.
(l) The secretary of corrections is
authorized to make direct place-
ment to the Labette correctional conservation camp or a
conservation
camp established by the secretary pursuant to K.S.A. 75-52,127,
and
amendments thereto, of an inmate sentenced to the secretary's
custody
if the inmate: (1) Has been sentenced to the secretary for a
probation
revocation, as a departure from the presumptive nonimprisonment
grid
block of either sentencing grid, or for an offense
which is classified in
grid blocks 5-H, 5-I, or 6-G of the sentencing guidelines grid for
nondrug
crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H,
or 3-I, 4-E, or 4-F of the
sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, or for an offense
which is
classified in gridblocks 4-E or 4-F of the sentencing guidelines
grid for
drug crimes and such offense does not meet the requirements of
section
1, and amendments thereto, and (2) otherwise meets admission
criteria
of the camp. If the inmate successfully completes a conservation
camp
program, the secretary of corrections shall report such completion
to the
sentencing court and the county or district attorney. The inmate
shall
then be assigned by the court to six months of follow-up
supervision
conducted by the appropriate community corrections services
program.
The court may also order that supervision continue thereafter for
the
length of time authorized by K.S.A. 21-4611 and amendments
thereto.
(m) When it is provided by law that a
person shall be sentenced pur-
suant to K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4628, prior to its repeal, the
provisions of
this section shall not apply.
(n) Except as provided by subsection
(f) of K.S.A. 21-4705, and
amendments thereto, in addition to any of the above, for felony
violations
of K.S.A. 65-4160 or 65-4162, and amendments thereto, the court
shall
require the defendant who meets the requirements established in
section
1, and amendments thereto, to participate in a certified drug
abuse treat-
ment program, as provided in section 2, and amendments thereto,
includ-
ing but not limited to, an approved after-care plan. If the
defendant fails
to participate in or has a pattern of intentional conduct that
demonstrates
the offender's refusal to comply with or participate in the
treatment pro-
gram, as established by judicial finding, the defendant shall be
subject to
revocation of probation and the defendant shall serve the
underlying
prison sentence as established in K.S.A. 21-4705, and
amendments
thereto. For those offenders who are convicted on or after the
effective
date of this act, upon completion of the underlying prison
sentence, the
defendant shall not be subject to a period of postrelease
supervision. The
amount of time spent participating in such program shall not be
credited
as service on the underlying prison sentence.
Sec. 4. On and after November 1,
2003, K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-4705
is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4705. (a) For the purpose
of
sentencing, the following sentencing guidelines grid for drug
crimes shall
be applied in felony cases under the uniform controlled substances
act
for crimes committed on or after July 1, 1993:
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) will
apply for the purpose of
sentencing violations of the uniform controlled substances act
except as
otherwise provided by law. Sentences expressed in the sentencing
guide-
lines grid for drug crimes in subsection (a) represent months of
impris-
onment.
(c) (1) The sentencing court has
discretion to sentence at any place
within the sentencing range. The sentencing judge shall select the
center
of the range in the usual case and reserve the upper and lower
limits for
aggravating and mitigating factors insufficient to warrant a
departure. The
sentencing court shall not distinguish between the controlled
substances
cocaine base (9041L000) and cocaine hydrochloride (9041L005)
when
sentencing within the sentencing range of the grid block.
(2) In presumptive imprisonment cases,
the sentencing court shall
pronounce the complete sentence which shall include the prison
sen-
tence, the maximum potential reduction to such sentence as a result
of
good time and the period of postrelease supervision at the
sentencing
hearing. Failure to pronounce the period of postrelease supervision
shall
not negate the existence of such period of postrelease
supervision.
(3) In presumptive nonprison cases, the
sentencing court shall pro-
nounce the prison sentence as well as the duration of the nonprison
sanc-
tion at the sentencing hearing.
(d) Each grid block states the
presumptive sentencing range for an
offender whose crime of conviction and criminal history place such
of-
fender in that grid block. If an offense is classified in a grid
block below
the dispositional line, the presumptive disposition shall be
nonimprison-
ment. If an offense is classified in a grid block above the
dispositional
line, the presumptive disposition shall be imprisonment. If an
offense is
classified in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H,
or 3-I, 4-E or 4-F, the court
may impose an optional nonprison sentence upon making the
following
findings on the record:
(1) An appropriate treatment program
exists which is likely to be
more effective than the presumptive prison term in reducing the
risk of
offender recidivism; and
(2) the recommended treatment program is
available and the of-
fender can be admitted to such program within a reasonable period
of
time; or
(3) the nonprison sanction will serve
community safety interests by
promoting offender reformation.
Any decision made by the court regarding the
imposition of an optional
nonprison sentence if the offense is classified in grid blocks 3-E,
3-F, 3-
G, 3-H, or 3-I, 4-E or 4-F
shall not be considered a departure and shall
not be subject to appeal.
(e) The sentence for a second or
subsequent conviction of K.S.A. 65-
4159 and amendments thereto, manufacture of any controlled
substance
or controlled substance analog shall be a presumptive term of
imprison-
ment of two times the maximum duration of the presumptive term
of
imprisonment. The court may impose an optional reduction in such
sen-
tence of not to exceed 50% of the mandatory increase provided by
this
subsection upon making a finding on the record that one or more of
the
mitigating factors as specified in K.S.A. 21-4716 and amendments
thereto
justify such a reduction in sentence. Any decision made by the
court
regarding the reduction in such sentence shall not be considered a
de-
parture and shall not be subject to appeal.
(f) The sentence for a third or
subsequent felony conviction of K.S.A.
65-4160 or 65-4162, and amendments thereto, shall be a
presumptive term
of imprisonment and the defendant shall be sentenced to prison
as pro-
vided by this section, if the defendant has previously completed
a certified
drug abuse treatment program, as provided in section 2, and
amendments
thereto, or has been discharged or refused to participate in a
certified
drug abuse treatment program, as provided in section 2, and
amendments
thereto. Such sentence shall not be considered a departure and
shall not
be subject to appeal.
Sec. 5. On and after November 1,
2003, K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-4714
is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4714. (a) The court shall
order
the preparation of the presentence investigation report by the
court serv-
ices officer as soon as possible after conviction of the
defendant.
(b) Each presentence report prepared for
an offender to be sen-
tenced for one or more felonies committed on or after July 1, 1993,
shall
be limited to the following information:
(1) A summary of the factual
circumstances of the crime or crimes
of conviction.
(2) If the defendant desires to do so, a
summary of the defendant's
version of the crime.
(3) When there is an identifiable victim,
a victim report. The person
preparing the victim report shall submit the report to the victim
and
request that the information be returned to be submitted as a part
of the
presentence investigation. To the extent possible, the report shall
include
a complete listing of restitution for damages suffered by the
victim.
(4) An appropriate classification of each
crime of conviction on the
crime severity scale.
(5) A listing of prior adult convictions
or juvenile adjudications for
felony or misdemeanor crimes or violations of county resolutions or
city
ordinances comparable to any misdemeanor defined by state law.
Such
listing shall include an assessment of the appropriate
classification of the
criminal history on the criminal history scale and the source of
informa-
tion regarding each listed prior conviction and any available
source of
journal entries or other documents through which the listed
convictions
may be verified. If any such journal entries or other documents are
ob-
tained by the court services officer, they shall be attached to the
pre-

Sec. 6. On and after November 1,
2003, K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 22-3716
is hereby amended to read as follows: 22-3716. (a) At any time
during
probation, assignment to a community correctional services program,
sus-
pension of sentence or pursuant to subsection (d) for defendants
who
committed a crime prior to July 1, 1993, and at any time during
which a
defendant is serving a nonprison sanction for a crime committed on
or
after July 1, 1993, or pursuant to subsection (d), the court may
issue a
warrant for the arrest of a defendant for violation of any of the
conditions
of release or assignment, a notice to appear to answer to a charge
of
violation or a violation of the defendant's nonprison sanction. The
notice
shall be personally served upon the defendant. The warrant shall
author-
ize all officers named in the warrant to return the defendant to
the cus-
tody of the court or to any certified detention facility designated
by the
court. Any court services officer or community correctional
services of-
ficer may arrest the defendant without a warrant or may deputize
any
other officer with power of arrest to do so by giving the officer a
written
statement setting forth that the defendant has, in the judgment of
the
court services officer or community correctional services officer,
violated
the conditions of the defendant's release or a nonprison sanction.
The
written statement delivered with the defendant by the arresting
officer
to the official in charge of a county jail or other place of
detention shall
be sufficient warrant for the detention of the defendant. After
making an
arrest, the court services officer or community correctional
services of-
ficer shall present to the detaining authorities a similar
statement of the
circumstances of violation. Provisions regarding release on bail of
persons
charged with a crime shall be applicable to defendants arrested
under
these provisions.
(b) Upon arrest and detention pursuant to
subsection (a), the court
services officer or community correctional services officer shall
immedi-
ately notify the court and shall submit in writing a report showing
in what
manner the defendant has violated the conditions of release or
assignment
or a nonprison sanction. Thereupon, or upon an arrest by warrant
as
provided in this section, the court shall cause the defendant to be
brought
before it without unnecessary delay for a hearing on the violation
charged.
The hearing shall be in open court and the state shall have the
burden of
establishing the violation. The defendant shall have the right to
be rep-
resented by counsel and shall be informed by the judge that, if the
de-
fendant is financially unable to obtain counsel, an attorney will
be ap-
pointed to represent the defendant. The defendant shall have the
right
to present the testimony of witnesses and other evidence on the
defend-
ant's behalf. Relevant written statements made under oath may be
ad-
mitted and considered by the court along with other evidence
presented
at the hearing. Except as otherwise provided, if the violation is
estab-
lished, the court may continue or revoke the probation, assignment
to a
community correctional services program, suspension of sentence or
non-
prison sanction and may require the defendant to serve the
sentence
imposed, or any lesser sentence, and, if imposition of sentence was
sus-
pended, may impose any sentence which might originally have been
im-
posed. Except as otherwise provided, no offender for whom a
violation
of conditions of release or assignment or a nonprison sanction has
been
established as provided in this section shall be required to serve
any time
for the sentence imposed or which might originally have been
imposed
in a state facility in the custody of the secretary of corrections
for such
violation, unless such person has already at least one prior
assignment to
a community correctional services program related to the crime for
which
the original sentence was imposed, except these provisions shall
not apply
to offenders who violate a condition of release or assignment or a
non-
prison sanction by committing a new misdemeanor or felony offense.
The
provisions of this subsection shall not apply to adult felony
offenders as
described in subsection (a)(3) of K.S.A. 75-5291, and
amendments
thereto. The court may require an offender for whom a violation of
con-
ditions of release or assignment or a nonprison sanction has been
estab-
lished as provided in this section to serve any time for the
sentence im-
posed or which might originally have been imposed in a state
facility in
the custody of the secretary of corrections without a prior
assignment to
a community correctional services program if the court finds and
sets
forth with particularity the reasons for finding that the safety of
the mem-
bers of the public will be jeopardized or that the welfare of the
inmate
will not be served by such assignment to a community correctional
serv-
ices program. When a new felony is committed while the offender is
on
probation or assignment to a community correctional services
program,
the new sentence shall be imposed pursuant to the consecutive
sentenc-
ing requirements of K.S.A. 21-4608 and amendments thereto, and
the
court may sentence the offender to imprisonment for the new
conviction,
even when the new crime of conviction otherwise presumes a
nonprison
sentence. In this event, imposition of a prison sentence for the
new crime
does not constitute a departure.
(c) A defendant who is on probation,
assigned to a community cor-
rectional services program, under suspension of sentence or serving
a
nonprison sanction and for whose return a warrant has been issued
by
the court shall be considered a fugitive from justice if it is
found that the
warrant cannot be served. If it appears that the defendant has
violated
the provisions of the defendant's release or assignment or a
nonprison
sanction, the court shall determine whether the time from the
issuing of
the warrant to the date of the defendant's arrest, or any part of
it, shall
be counted as time served on probation, assignment to a community
cor-
rectional services program, suspended sentence or pursuant to a
nonpri-
son sanction.
(d) The court shall have 30 days
following the date probation, assign-
ment to a community correctional service program, suspension of
sen-
tence or a nonprison sanction was to end to issue a warrant for the
arrest
or notice to appear for the defendant to answer a charge of a
violation of
the conditions of probation, assignment to a community correctional
serv-
ice program, suspension of sentence or a nonprison sanction.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of any
other law to the contrary,
an offender whose nonprison sanction is revoked and a term of
impris-
onment imposed pursuant to either the sentencing guidelines grid
for
nondrug or drug crimes shall not serve a period of postrelease
supervision
upon the completion of the prison portion of that sentence. The
provi-
sions of this subsection shall not apply to offenders sentenced to
a non-
prison sanction pursuant to a dispositional departure, whose
offense falls
within a border box of either the sentencing guidelines grid for
nondrug
or drug crimes, offenders sentenced for a ``sexually violent
crime'' as de-
fined by K.S.A. 22-3717, and amendments thereto, or whose
nonprison
sanction was revoked as a result of a conviction for a new
misdemeanor
or felony offense. The provisions of this subsection shall not
apply to
offenders who are serving or are to begin serving a sentence for
any other
felony offense that is not excluded from postrelease supervision by
this
subsection on the effective date of this subsection. The provisions
of this
subsection shall be applied retroactively. The department of
corrections
shall conduct a review of all persons who are in the custody of the
de-
partment as a result of only a revocation of a nonprison sanction.
On or
before September 1, 2000, the department shall have discharged
from
postrelease supervision those offenders as required by this
subsection.
(f) Offenders who have been sentenced
pursuant to section 1, and
amendments thereto, and who subsequently violate a condition of
the drug
and alcohol abuse treatment program shall be subject to an
additional
nonprison sanction for any such subsequent violation. Such
nonprison
sanctions shall include, but not be limited to, up to 60 days in
a county
jail, fines, community service, intensified treatment, house
arrest and elec-
tronic monitoring.
Sec. 7. On and after November 1,
2003, K.S.A. 65-4160 is hereby
amended to read as follows: 65-4160. (a) Except as authorized by
the
uniform controlled substances act, it shall be unlawful for any
person to
possess or have under such person's control any opiates, opium or
narcotic
drugs, or any stimulant designated in subsection (d)(1), (d)(3) or
(f)(1) of
K.S.A. 65-4107 and amendments thereto. Except as provided
in subsec-
tions (b) and (c), Any person who violates this
subsection shall be guilty
of a drug severity level 4 felony.

this section has two or more prior
convictions under this section or substantially similar
offenses under the
laws of another jurisdiction, then such person shall be
guilty of a drug
severity level 1 felony.

defense to charges arising under this section that
the defendant was acting in an agency relationship on behalf of any
other
party in a transaction involving a controlled substance.
(e) (c) For
purposes of the uniform controlled substances act, the
prohibitions contained in this section shall apply to controlled

to the uniform controlled substances act.

sentence is
imposed;

conditions of release or
assignment or a nonprison sanction has been established as provided

the
custody of the secretary of corrections;
(E) any offender who is determined to be

serve
any time for the sentence imposed or which might originally have
been
imposed in a state facility in the custody of the secretary of
corrections
without a prior assignment to a community correctional services
program
if the court finds and sets forth with particularity the reasons

a
community correctional services program.
