SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Weekend jail time. Allows the court to sentence a felon to nonconsecutive days or weekend jail time upon a showing of good cause if the felony was not an "act of violence" as defined in § 19.2-297.1 and the active portion of the sentence remaining to be served is 120 days or less. The bill also eliminates the provision limiting nonconsecutive days or weekend jail time to the purpose of allowing the defendant to retain gainful employment. As introduced, this bill was a recommendation of the Virginia Criminal Justice Conference.
