Some of Gov. Beverly Perdue's recommendations to improve how North Carolina's probationers are supervised are working their way through the Legislature.
    
A Senate judiciary panel agreed Tuesday to support many of Perdue's suggestions she made in response to problems with oversight in the state probation system. The problems surfaced after two men on probation were charged in the slaying of University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson.
     
The bill would allow probation officers to have access to an offender's juvenile records. Probationers also would be subjected to warrantless searches as a regular condition of probation.
     
The bill now goes to the full Senate.      

Perdue also asked in her budget proposal for better pay for probation officers and to hire more of them.
