Sec. 25. (a) This section applies to a person if the most serious offense for which the person is committed is murder, a Class A felony, or a Class B felony (for a crime committed before July 1, 2014), or a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4 felony (for a crime committed after June 30, 2014).
(b) A sentencing court may sentence a person or modify the sentence of a person to assign the person to a community transition program for any period that begins after the person's community transition program commencement date (as defined in IC 11-8-1-5.6) and ends when the person completes the person's fixed term of imprisonment, less the credit time the person has earned with respect to the term, if the court makes specific findings of fact that support a determination that it is in the best interests of justice to make the assignment. The order may include any other condition that the court could impose if the court had placed the person on probation under IC 35-38-2 or in a community corrections program under IC 35-38-2.6.
(c) The court may make a determination under this section without a hearing.

The court in its discretion may consider statements submitted by a victim after the time allowed for the submission of statements under IC 11-10-11.5-4.5.
(d) The court shall make written findings for a determination under this section, whether or not a hearing was held.
(e) Not later than five (5) days after making a determination under this section, the court shall send a copy of the order to the:
