40-35-309. Probation authorized outside jurisdiction of court Transfer or retention of jurisdiction.

Whenever a court authorizes a defendant sentenced to supervised probation to reside in this state but outside the jurisdiction of the sentencing court, the court may:

     (1)  Retain jurisdiction over the defendant; or

     (2)  Transfer jurisdiction over the defendant to an appropriate court in the jurisdiction in which the defendant will reside. A court to which jurisdiction is transferred shall have the same powers as the sentencing court.
