  2 28 department of correctional services.  The plan adopted
  2 29 shall be designed to reduce probation revocations to

  2 31 sanctions for probation violations.
  2 32    The plan shall be subject to rules adopted by the
  2 33 department of corrections.  The rules shall include
  2 34 provisions for transferring individuals between levels
  2 35 in the continuum.  The provisions shall include a
  2 36 requirement that the reasons for the transfer be in
  2 37 writing and that an opportunity for the individual to
  2 38 contest the transfer be made available.
  2 39    A copy of the program and plan shall be filed with
  2 40 the chief judge of the judicial district, the
  2 41 department of corrections, and the division of

  2 44    4.  a.  The district department of correctional
  2 45 services shall place an individual committed to it

  2 47 supervision which is appropriate to the individual
  2 48 based upon a current risk assessment evaluation.
  2 49 Placements may be to levels two and three of the
  2 50 corrections continuum.  The district department may,
  3  1 with the approval of the department of corrections,
  3  2 place an individual in a level four violator facility
  3  3 established pursuant to section 904.207 or use twenty-

  3  7    b.  The district department may transfer an
  3  8 individual along the intermediate criminal sanctions
  3  9 program operated pursuant to subsection 3 as necessary
  3 10 and appropriate during the period the individual is
  3 11 assigned to the district department.  However, nothing
  3 12 in this section shall limit the district department's
  3 13 ability to seek a revocation of the individual's
  3 14 probation pursuant to section 908.11.
  3 15    Sec.    .  Section 905.1, subsection 2, Code 1995,

  3 18 correctional programs and services, including but not
  3 19 limited to an intermediate criminal sanctions program

  3 22 individuals who are charged with or have been
  3 23 convicted of a felony, an aggravated misdemeanor or a
  3 24 serious misdemeanor, or who are on probation or parole
  3 25 in lieu of or as a result of a sentence of
  3 26 incarceration imposed upon conviction of any of these
  3 27 offenses, or who are contracted to the district
  3 28 department for supervision and housing while on work
  3 29 release.
  3 30    An intermediate criminal sanctions program shall be
  3 31 designed by a district department in a manner that
  3 32 provides services in a manner free of disparities
  3 33 based upon an individual's race or ethnic origin.
  3 34    Sec.    .  Section 907.3, subsection 1, unnumbered
  3 35 paragraph 1, Code Supplement 1995, is amended to read
  3 36 as follows:
  3 37    With the consent of the defendant, the court may
  3 38 defer judgment and may place the defendant on
  3 39 probation upon such conditions as it may require.
  3 40 Upon a showing that the defendant is not co-operating
  3 41 cooperating with the program of probation or is not
  3 42 responding to it, the court may withdraw the defendant
  3 43 from the program, pronounce judgment, and impose any
  3 44 sentence authorized by law.  Before taking such
  3 45 action, the court shall give the defendant an
  3 46 opportunity to be heard on any matter relevant to the
  3 47 proposed action.  Upon fulfillment of the conditions
  3 48 of probation, the defendant shall be discharged

  4  8 The court may assign the defendant to supervision or
  4  9 services under section 901A.1 at the level of
  4 10 supervision which the district department determines
  4 11 to be appropriate, if an intermediate criminal
  4 12 sanctions plan and program has been adopted in the
  4 13 judicial district under section 901A.1.  However, the
  4 14 court shall not defer the sentence for a violation of
  4 15 section 708.2A if the defendant has previously
  4 16 received a deferred judgment or sentence for a
  4 17 violation of section 708.2 or 708.2A which was issued
  4 18 on a domestic abuse assault, or if similar relief was
  4 19 granted anywhere in the United States concerning that
  4 20 jurisdiction's statutes which substantially correspond
  4 21 to domestic abuse assault as provided in section
  4 22 708.2A.  In addition, the court shall not defer a
  4 23 sentence if it is imposed for a conviction for or plea
  4 24 of guilty to a violation of section 236.8 or for
  4 25 contempt pursuant to section 236.8 or 236.14.  Upon a
  4 26 showing that the defendant is not fulfilling the
  4 27 conditions of probation, the court may revoke
  4 28 probation and impose any sentence authorized by law.
  4 29 Before taking such action, the court shall give the
  4 30 defendant an opportunity to be heard on any matter
  4 31 relevant to the proposed action.  Upon violation of
  4 32 the conditions of probation, the court may proceed as
  4 33 provided in chapter 908.
  4 34    Sec.    .  Section 907.3, subsection 3, Code
  4 35 Supplement 1995, is amended to read as follows:

  4 37 sentencing, the court may suspend the sentence and
  4 38 place the defendant on probation upon such terms and
  4 39 conditions as it may require including commitment to
  4 40 an alternate jail facility or a community correctional
  4 41 residential treatment facility for a specific number
  4 42 of days to be followed by a term of probation as

  4 45 correctional services for supervision or services
  4 46 under section 901A.1 at the level of supervision which

  5 11 the court or district department may impose to promote
  5 12 rehabilitation of the defendant or protection of the
  5 13 community.  Conditions may include but are not limited
  5 14 to adherence to regulations generally applicable to
  5 15 persons released on parole and including requiring
