(a) A person who has been conditionally released pursuant to this subpart and who has violated a condition of release, shall be subject to revocation of release and, in addition, may be prosecuted for contempt of court.
(b) A proceeding for revocation of release may be initiated upon notice to the district attorney by the warrant magistrate, assistant warrant magistrate, or any other person responsible for administering this subpart. A warrant for the arrest of a person charged with violating a condition of release may be issued by an officer authorized to issue warrants, on the affidavit of a person responsible for administering this subpart. The person arrested under a warrant shall be brought before a judicial officer in the county. An order of revocation shall not be entered unless, after hearing, the judicial officer finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that the person has violated a condition of his or her release due to inattention, negligence, or by a willful act.
(c) Contempt sanctions may be imposed if, upon a hearing and applicable criminal contempt proceedings, it is established that the person violated a condition of release. The contempt proceedings shall be expedited and heard by the court without a jury. A person found guilty of contempt for violation of a condition of release shall be imprisoned for not more than six months, or fined not more that one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both.
