SB 389 Legislative continuance.

Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Legislative continuance. Places limitations on the right granted to members and certain employees of the General Assembly to claim a continuance in pending proceedings. A request for a continuance would have to be made in writing and given to the court and the parties at least three days prior to any scheduled proceedings. For cases involving felonies, the establishment of child support, and judicially-determined expedited matters, the bill would limit the continuance to no more than 90 days. For all other cases, the continuance, if granted, could not delay the proceeding for more than six months, unless that six-month period would expire during a legislative session.
