1998 SESSION

HB 695 Sentencing guidelines; worksheets.

Introduced by: James F. Almand | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Sentencing guidelines; worksheets. Clarifies that the worksheets are to be prepared in all felony cases. The use of the term "may" with references to cases tried upon a plea of guilty has led some courts to conclude that the worksheets need not be prepared, although subsection A clearly requires that the court have the worksheets.

This bill is recommended by the Sentencing Commission.
