1. When the court imposes probation upon conviction for a felony offense subject to section 12.1 -32-09.1 or 12.1 -32-02.1, a second or subsequent violation of section 12.1-17-07.1, a second or subsequent violation of any domestic violence protection order, a violation of chapter 12.1-41, a violation of section 14-09-22, or a felony offense under chapter 39 -08, the court shall place the defendant under the supervision and management of the department of corrections and rehabilitation. When the court imposes probation upon conviction or order of disposition in all other felony cases, the court may place the defendant under the supervision and management of the department of corrections and rehabilitation. In class A misdemeanor cases, the court may place the defendant under the supervision and management of the department of corrections and rehabilitation or other responsible party. In all other cases, the court may place the defendant under the supervision and management of a community corrections program other than the department of corrections and rehabilitation. A community corrections program means a program for the supervision of a defendant, including monitoring and enforcement of terms and conditions of probation set by the court. 2. The department of corrections and rehabilitation may administer a risk assessment for the evaluation of each defendant placed under the supervision and management of the department of corrections and rehabilitation. The results of the risk assessment may be used to set a level of supervision and management and develop an individualized case plan for the defendant. The case plan may include a list of responsivity factors and a plan to address any risk factors identified in the risk assessment. 3. The court shall provide as an explicit condition of every probation that the defendant may not possess a firearm, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon while the defendant is on probation.

The court may not waive this condition of probation if the court places the defendant under the supervision and management of the department of corrections and rehabilitation. The court shall provide as an explicit condition of probation that the defendant may not willfully defraud a urine test administered as a condition of probation. Unless waived on the record by the court, the court shall also provide as a condition of probation that the defendant undergo various agreed-to community constraints and conditions as intermediate measures of the department of corrections and rehabilitation to avoid revocation, which may include: a. Community service; b. Day reporting; c. Curfew; d. Home confinement; e. House arrest; f. Electronic monitoring; g. Residential halfway house; h. Intensive supervision program; i.
