The court's jurisdiction over a person entering such program ends when?

• A. Upon completion of the program
• B. Upon revocation only
• C. Upon completion or revocation, whichever occurs first
• D. Upon expiration of the maximum sentence

Answer: (C)

The governing idea is that a court’s oversight of a person in a supervised program ends when the program itself ends. That termination happens in either of two ways: the person completes the program successfully, or the program is revoked for noncompliance. Whichever happens first determines when the court’s jurisdiction over the participant ends. This reflects the conditional nature of the program: the court’s authority is tied to the program’s duration and status, not to a fixed calendar or the maximum sentence. If someone completes early, jurisdiction ends then; if the program is revoked earlier, jurisdiction ends at that point.
