Sec. 21. (a) A court that receives a petition from the department of correction under IC 35-38-3-5 may, after notice to the prosecuting attorney of the judicial circuit in which the defendant's case originated, hold a hearing for the purpose of determining whether the offender named in the petition may be placed in home detention under IC 35-38-2.5 instead of commitment to the department of correction for the remainder of the offender's minimum sentence.
