(2)Prior to modification the offender shall be given notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard regarding any change in the conditions. All changes in conditions shall be given to the offender in writing.

(c)Any conditions imposed pursuant to § 80.62 shall automatically terminate upon the successful completion of the period of suspension or probation set by the court.

Upon termination, an order of termination shall be rendered by the court and entered by the clerk in the minutes and a copy thereof mailed to the offender.
