This amendment would transfer all probation functions, powers, duties, and responsibilities, as well as probation officers and related employees, from the Judiciary to the new Bureau of Probation. The amendment ensures that existing contractual terms and conditions, and the status of exclusive employee bargaining representatives, remain unchanged. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters at the next general election.
