Reinstating annual progress reports will strengthen oversight, improve decision-making, and ensure that supervision remains responsive to the needs of individuals under supervision.  The decline in reliable supervision documentation, including lack of comprehensive progress reports, has contributed to an increase in out-of-state subpoenas, as sending states struggle to make informed decisions due to incomplete case information. This reporting gap makes it difficult to track an individual’s success or challenges during supervision. Reinstating annual progress reports will help address these issues by ensuring sending states have accurate, up-to-date information to guide their decisions and reduce risks associated with insufficient documentation.

Annual progress reports are critical for ensuring that supervision decisions remain responsive to the evolving needs of supervised individuals. Their reinstatement serves four key purposes:

  • Comprehensive Documentation for Supervision: Regular progress reports maintain a consistent record of an individual’s compliance, status, and supervision history. They ensure transparency and accountability, supporting both incentives and corrective actions.

  • Informed Decision-Making by Sending States: Routine reporting provides essential insights into an individual’s compliance, progress, and response to interventions, allowing sending states to make informed decisions about supervision conditions, modifications, or early termination.

  • Risk-Based Supervision and Compliance Monitoring: Progress reports enable supervision agencies to adjust risk levels and tailor responses appropriately. This supports a graduated response model that balances accountability with effective interventions, rather than relying solely on punitive measures.

  • Addressing Criminogenic Needs: Regular documentation ensures that treatment participation and completion are tracked consistently, providing a clear picture of rehabilitation efforts. This enables supervision agencies to adjust treatment plans, apply supportive measures, and promote behavioral change—ultimately enhancing public safety and reducing recidivism.

The rule should remain unchanged. If a Sending State wants a Progress Report, they can request it. If a Receiving State just sends one it is just additional work that is not needed. If the Sending State wanted one they would request it.

Section a) "A receiving state shall submit a progress report to the sending state annually, or within 30 calendar days of receiving a request." Should probably be reworded as follows to be sure it is not just an annual PR or requested PR that are submitted. How about "A receiving state shall submit a progress report to the sending state AT LEAST annually, to report progress or non-compliance when it occurs, or within 30 calendar days of a receiving a request."

I like the updates to include the specifics of what officers/agents should include in the progress report. Departments train these specifics, but they don't consistently get included by all local staff. This will aid in the process moving forward for more thorough progress reports.

Replace or with and in the 1st paragraph : " A receiving state shall submit a progress report to the sending state annually, or within 30 calendar days of receiving a request. "
Comments
Recommend replacing "or" with "and" to reinforce the intent of the rule. The way the current proposal reads, using “or” does not clearly indicate that both annual and requested progress reports are mandatory. This creates ambiguity and may result in states choosing one over the other. Requiring submission annually and within 30 calendar days of a request ensures consistent documentation, timely communication, and better-informed decision-making by the sending state.

(a) “annually” – not in favor of the frequency.
To appropriately supervise a client, you need more than a one time a year update.
-if it’s this infrequent, why require a timeframe at all?

The justification of "the decline in reliable documentation" is not solved by changing part (a). It is just creating more work without improving the quality. I would also say that some states do not want auto-generated PRs so to make this mandatory for all states is unwarranted. Finally, I also see that you are changing the function of a progress report by removing the verbiage "that does not require retaking". PRs are for those you can work with while VRs are for those that you would revoke in your own state, you are now blurring the lines of how these tools are used.

Why don't you instead have an option built into ICOTS 2.0 to allow the states that want annual progress reports to turn them on while states that don't can leave the option off.

Progress Reports should be submitted every 6 months or at the request of the SS. I think annually is not enough. Also should be: "current information about the SI, if applicable." As well as it should state "annually and within 30 calendar days of request"

I hope the progress report recommendation options mirrors the rule.

Regarding subsection (a) – by adding ‘annually’, this increases the administrative burden on the user to submit a report just because of a requirement.

Additionally, due to the increase in the quantity of reports, the quality of the report won’t always be guaranteed.
Comments
If a Sending State needs information, they can simply request a Progress Report, noting the information they are looking for. Otherwise, States should be confident that the Receiving State supervises the individual per their policies and procedures and would report any non-compliance as needed.

If a Receiving State does send a Progress Report, the rule speaks to good information provided.

"...annually, or..." is confusing. Instead of or, "and" should be considered, or perhaps adding that the annual report is at a minimum to avoid states delaying the sending of pertinent updates. The increased and specific information required is good. Hopefully the new ICOTS would be able to support this potential rule change by not allowing a PR to be submitted with blank fields. More PRs are only good if they have information in them.

Comments
Making the requirement for an annual progress report is absolutely a step in the right direction. Ensuring that the report will be robust is also necessary. We have all seen progress reports that contain no substantive information and simply have the “Continue to supervise” box checked. This is a necessary change.

Clarify language to ensure intent is that a progress report be submitted on an annual basis at a minimum and within 30 days upon request of the sending state. The way the proposal is currently written implies one or the other.

The current rule is sufficient and was revised in 2017. This is a compliance issue. Requiring annual PR's again will not solve the issue that receiving states are sending blank PR's and not providing specific information requested by the sending state.

I believe the rule as currently written has the ability to provide the information needed to make informed decisions. I don't know that officers who don't request progress reports now will use them in the future just because it is an annual requirement but the workload will increase for all regardless.

Yes
If yes, what are those changes
KS would suggest language be added to encourage the expectation that progress reports continue to be used at any point during supervision and not only annually or as requested. Maybe in section (a) to add something to the effect of; "annually, within 30 calendar days of receiving a request, and at any point during supervision to report changes in supervision, compliant or non compliant behaviors."
Comments
Also, in the rewrite our state has noticed blank progress reports being submitted to meet the 30 day requirement. KS would suggest making certain areas mandatory within the progress report form.
