SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Commonwealth's right to appeal. Makes changes to reflect a 2002 amendment that allowed the Commonwealth to appeal a felony sentence that is contrary to mandatory statutory sentencing or restitution terms. Prior to the 2002 amendment the provisions addressed only pretrial appeals and amendments were needed to delineate between the procedures that apply to pretrial appeals and those that apply to a sentencing appeal.
