Likewise, the sum of twenty dollars ($20) shall be paid for each motion or petition for stay of any other judicial proceeding, matter or process in the Court of First Instance filed, orally or in writing by the defendant or his/her attorney. It is hereby provided that the fees for stay of proceedings shall also apply to petitions for stay filed orally with the court. In the case of an oral petition, the court shall ensure strict compliance with the provisions herein provided and order the payment of said fee as soon as possible.

As an exception, the courts may exempt from the payment of the filing fee for stay of proceedings herein provided, when, jointly with a duly grounded petition for stay, the petitioner shows attesting evidence that his/her petition for stay is due to a conflict in schedule caused by the Court for summoning the petitioner in his/her absence. When a party or its attorney files a petition for exemption from the payment of the fee for stay of proceedings, under this exception, it shall not enclose the special stamp corresponding to the fee for stay of proceedings, nor pay it by other means to be adopted in the future, until the court resolves such petition and orders otherwise, if it so determine. If the Court does not grant the petition for exemption from the payment of the fee for stay of proceedings provided herein, because the circumstances therefor did not concur, the Court shall order the attorney or party filing such petition for stay to pay the corresponding fees at the Court Clerk Office within a term it deems appropriate. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, its agencies and other instrumentalities, institutions and other natural or juridical persons at present exempted from the payment of the costs and fees prescribed by law shall continue to be exempted from payment of the fee for stay of proceedings herein provided. The Secretary of the Treasury shall design a special stay of proceedings stamp and sell it according to the regulations in effect regarding internal revenue stamps or any other regulations that he/she may adopt to such effect. Likewise, it may establish the payment of the fee for stay of proceedings provided herein electronically, in coordination with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. The Secretary of the Treasury shall use the amounts collected on account fees for the stay of proceedings to defray the expenses and fees of attorneys appointed by the court. Likewise, any surplus shall be appropriated to the Department of Justice so that, according to the existing needs, it may hire institutions to render free legal services to persons with limited financial resources.

(2) One (1) of the following felonies with penalties in the classification of the third degree: lewd acts when the victim is a minor under fourteen (14) years of age, producing child pornography, possessing and distributing child pornography, using a minor for child pornography, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, havoc, negligent homicide, bribery, offer to bribe, unlawful taking of property or embezzlement of public funds, unjust enrichment, and misappropriation of public funds. (3) One of the following felonies of the Puerto Rico Weapons Law, with penalty of third degree felony, violation [of] § 458 (manufacture, sale and distribution of arms), § 458a (prohibition to sell arms to unlicensed persons), § 458g (possession or sale of arms with silencer), § 458h (facilitation of arms to third parties), and § 458i (arms with mutilated serial number), all of Title 25.

(7) An attempt to or cooperation in any of the crimes excluded in subsections (a) to (f) above. It may likewise suspend the effects of a sentence ordered in all cases of misdemeanors that arise from the same facts or from the same transaction that has also resulted in a sentence for a felony other than those excluded from the benefits of §§ 1026—1029 of this title, including the case in which a person has been found not guilty for said felony or that said felony has been reduced to a misdemeanor, and thus convicted, shall order that the sentenced person be released on probation provided that at the time of imposing said sentence all the requirements listed hereinafter concur: (1) That said person, prior to the date on which the sentence imposed is to be suspended, has not been convicted, sentenced and imprisoned for any felony prior to the commission of the offense for which he/she is being prosecuted, and who has not had the effects of a prior sentence for a felony suspended; (2) that the circumstances in which the offense was committed do not provide evidence that the offender exhibits a behavioral or character trait whose favorable solution demands the confinement of said person in one of the penal institutions of Puerto Rico, in the interest of the proper protection of the community; (3) that the sentencing judge has before him/her a report rendered by the Corrections Administrator after the latter has made a thorough investigation of the family background and social history of the person sentenced, and that from the contents of said report, the sentencing judge may conclude that no aspect of the life of such a person proves the need for having him/her confined in any of the penal institutions of Puerto Rico to accomplish the reformation or rehabilitation contemplated for such a person by law as a measure for ensuring the adequate protection of the community. The sentencing court, at its own discretion, in addition to placing the sentenced person on probation, may also impose a fine whose amount shall remain at the discretion of the court. Provided, further, That the person on probation may be required, while on probation, to redress the aggrieved party for the damages caused, or to assume the obligation of correcting the harm caused by his/her offense. Provided, further, That after being put on probation, the person shall remain under the legal custody of the court until the expiration of the term fixed in his/her sentence, and (4) that, in those cases in which there is an obligation to pay child support, said person has complied with the obligation of making such payments or has assumed a payment plan and is in compliance with the same. In case of misdemeanors that do not arise from the same facts or transactions that resulted in a felony, the Court of First Instance may, likewise, suspend the effect of the sentence when it is solely of imprisonment, and shall order that the person sentenced be released on probation, provided that at the time of imposing said sentence all of the requirements listed hereinafter concur: (1) That said person, prior to the date on which the sentence imposed is to be suspended, has not been convicted, sentenced and imprisoned for any felony prior to the commission of the offense for which he/she is being prosecuted, and who has not had the effects of a prior sentence for a felony suspended. (2) That the circumstances under which the offense was committed do not provide evidence that the offender exhibits a behavioral or character trait whose favorable solution demands the confinement of said person in one of the penal institutions of Puerto Rico, in the interest of the proper protection of the community. (3) That the sentencing judge has before him/her a report rendered by the Corrections Administrator after the latter has made a thorough investigation of the criminal background and social history of the person sentenced, and that from the contents of said report, the sentencing judge may conclude that no aspect of the life of such a person proves the need for having him/her confined in one of the penal institutions of Puerto Rico, to accomplish the reformation or rehabilitation contemplated for such a person by the law as a measure for ensuring the adequate protection of the community. (4) That, in those cases in which there is an obligation to pay child support, said person has complied with the obligation of making such payments or has assumed a payment plan and is in compliance with the same. Pursuant to the provided above, the sentencing court may also suspend the effects of the sentence of imprisonment that it has ruled in all cases of negligent homicide in its modality of lesser offense that was not caused while driving a vehicle under the influence.

As a condition for probation, the person sentenced shall have satisfied the special penalty to the Victim’s Fund provided in the Penal Code of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, shall consent to submit to a regular program for the detection of controlled substances through reliable tests that allow for his/her orientation, treatment and rehabilitation, to the taking of a sample for DNA analysis, if required by law, and shall also register his/her name, address and other personal information in the Registry of Persons Convicted for Violent Sexual Crimes and Child Abuse created by law in the Criminal Justice Information System or in the Registry of Persons Convicted for Corruption when convicted for a crime of those listed therein. The sentenced person shall consent, besides, to have his[/her] probation revoked in absentia in cases where said person has left the jurisdiction or domicile thereof is unknown for having moved without informing the probation officer. Furthermore, the person on probation, as a condition therefor, shall consent, if accused of committing a felony, to having the initial summary hearing provided by § 1029 of this title held jointly with the hearing to determine probable cause. The determination of probable cause for the commission of a new crime is sufficient cause to provisionally revoke the benefits of probation at that time.

During the probation period the Corrections Administration shall exercise the degree of supervision it may consider necessary to accomplish the rehabilitation of the person and to protect the community. Any person placed on probation shall be submitted to a disciplinary regime of life and to a treatment plan, whose duration and conditions shall remain at the discretion of the Corrections Administration, according to the specific behavior problem presented by the person on probation. The Corrections Administration, upon consulting with the Institute of Forensic Sciences, shall adopt the needed regulations and shall establish the testing procedures to detect controlled substances for all persons on probation.

The sentencing court may request the Corrections Administration to furnish a periodic report of the conduct of the probationer at any time. Furthermore the trial court which would have resolved to grant probation to a person under § 2404(b)(1) of Title 24, a part of the Controlled Substances Act, or under Rule 247.1 of Criminal Procedure, App. II of this title, will be able to revoke probation and to order the serving of the sentence when the probationer did violate any of the conditions for said parole. If the Attorney General’s Office wishes to obtain the revocation of probation, and consequently the arrest and confinement of the probationer, the court shall conform to the following procedure: (1) By request of the attorney general, it shall conduct an ex parte initial hearing within forty-eight (48) hours to evaluate whether there is probable cause to believe that the probationer has violated the conditions of his probation. The revocation petition shall be made before any magistrate of the Court of First Instance or Municipal Judge, except the judge who initially sentenced the probationer under § 2404(b)(1) of Title 24 or under Rule 247.1 of Criminal Procedure, App. II of this title, who, immediately upon receiving it, shall decide whether to order the immediate arrest of the probationer or whether he will summon him for the initial summary hearing. The judge’s discretionary decision to arrest or to summon at this stage shall be grounded on an examination by the sociopenal official or of the official or person in charge of the institution or program in charge of the rehabilitation of the probationer, and his report with regard to the seriousness of the conditions that allegedly were not met, the person’s prior criminal record, the person’s conduct during probation and any other pertinent matters. (a) If the judge chooses to summon the probationer and he does not appear, his immediate arrest may be ordered. (b) The summons or the warrant for arrest shall include a statement of the procedures conducted, shall clearly and concisely state the alleged violations of the conditions of probation, and in case of arrest, the bail imposed, if any. (c) If the probationer is arrested, he shall be taken before a magistrate in the shortest term possible to hold the initial summary hearing. In normal circumstances this term shall not exceed seventy-two (72) hours from the time he was arrested. In the event he cannot post bail, if any was set, the judge shall order his confinement. (2) He shall conduct an initial summary hearing to determine if the revocation of probation and confinement until the final hearing is held is in order. The probationer shall be given the opportunity to be heard and present evidence in his behalf. He may, in turn, confront the petitioning sociopenal official or officer or person in charge of the institution or program in charge of the rehabilitation of the probationer who filed the report in court, and the adversary witnesses available at this stage. The court shall decide from case to case, the need of maintaining the anonymity of the persons interviewed by the sociopenal official or the officer or person in charge of the institution or program for their report, for their personal safety. The burden of proof shall rest on the Attorney General. The hearing shall be informal in nature and the Rules of Evidence, App. IV of Title 32, shall only be applied with flexibility, so that they do not hinder or vitiate the procedure. The Rules of Criminal Procedure, App. II of this title, shall govern in the measure that they are not incompatible with the informal, summary nature of the hearing. The judge shall make a succinct written summary of the facts and of his decision which shall be served on the probationer and the Attorney General. The probationer may be assisted by counsel. In case of a probationer who is on probation as provided in § 1027a of this title, or probation pursuant to § 2404(b)(1) of Title 24 or to Rule 247.1 of Criminal Procedure, App. II of this title, who is charged with committing a felony, the initial summary hearing shall be held in the form and manner provided herein, together with the hearing to determine probable cause of the crime he is charged with, in such a way that its prompt and fair determination is not hindered. The court may provisionally revoke the probationer’s freedom at that time. (3) A final hearing shall be conducted after the initial summary hearing is held and the provisional revocation and confinement is determined. Except for just cause or agreement of the parties, with the consent of the judge, the final revocation hearing shall be held within a term of not more than fifteen (15) days from the date the initial summary hearing was conducted. (a) The probationer is entitled to receive prior written notice sufficiently in advance of the alleged probation violations which will allow him to prepare himself adequately and to be represented by counsel. Subject to the protection of the persons interviewed who were guaranteed anonymity for security reasons, he can confront the oral evidence against him and present evidence in his behalf. (b) The burden of proof shall rest on the Attorney General. The judge’s decision based on the preponderance of evidence shall be in writing and shall reflect the findings of basic facts, the evidence on which he based it and the reasons that justify the revocation. The probationer and the Attorney General shall be served with said decision. (c) The court may consolidate both hearings if the initial hearing is suspended by petition or by causes attributed to the probationer by petition of his lawyer or when the Attorney General does not request or cannot obtain the arrest and confinement of the probationer. In this last circumstance the final, definite revocation hearing shall be docketed with at least thirty (30) days prior notice. (4) The initial summary hearings and the final hearing shall be elucidated before different judges, but the final hearing may be conducted before the same judge who originally sentenced the probationer: (5) In every procedure established in §§ 1026—1029 of this title, due process of law shall be complied with.
