2. Violated probation by commission of a technical violation that was not chargeable or indictable as a criminal offense.

B. The adult probation officer shall evaluate the needs of the offender and the offender's risk to the community, including the nature of the offense and criminal history of the offender. If the nature of the offense and the prior criminal history of the offender indicate that the offender should be included in an intensive probation program pursuant to supreme court guidelines for intensive probation, the adult probation officer may recommend to the court that the offender be granted intensive probation.

C. The court may suspend the imposition of sentence and grant the offender a period of intensive probation in accordance with this chapter. The suspension of sentence may be modified or revoked pursuant to this chapter.

F. Intensive probation shall be conditioned on the offender:

1. Maintaining employment or full-time student status at a school subject to title 15  1 or title 32, chapter 30,  2 or a combination of employment and student status, and making progress deemed satisfactory to the probation officer, or being involved in supervised job searches and community restitution work at least six days a week throughout the offender's term of intensive probation.

2. Paying restitution.

3. Paying probation fees of not less than $75 unless, after determining the inability of the offender to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser fee. Probation fees shall be deposited in the adult probation services fund established by § 12-267. Any amount assessed pursuant to this paragraph shall be used to supplement monies used for the salaries of adult probation and surveillance officers and for support of programs and services of the superior court adult probation departments.
