Sec. 11.5. (a) Except as provided in section 4.5 of this chapter, an offender is not entitled to refuse to be placed into a community transition program. However, the offender may request that an assignment to a community transition program be delayed if the offender will be enrolled in department programming on the community transition program commencement date designated by the department.

     (b) The community transition program, following a hearing and upon a finding of probable cause that the offender has failed to comply with a rule or condition under section 11 of this chapter, may:

(1) request a court to issue a warrant ordering the department to immediately:

(A) return the offender to the department; or

(B) reassign the offender to a program or facility administered by the department; or

(2) take disciplinary action against an offender who violates rules of conduct. Disciplinary action under this subdivision may include the loss of educational credit or good time credit under IC 35-50-6-5.

     (c) An offender who is returned to the department under subsection (b) is not eligible for assignment to another community transition program for the duration of the sentence or sentences the offender is actively serving.
