However, the combined term of imprisonment and probation for a misdemeanor may not exceed one (1) year.

However, a court may not place a person on probation for a period of more than twelve (12) months in the absence of a report that substantiates the need for a period of probation that is longer than twelve (12) months for the purpose of completing a course of substance abuse treatment.
