HB 1433 Service of arrest warrant on DOC inmate.

Introduced by: Jerrauld C. Jones | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Service of arrest warrant on DOC inmate. Makes changes to the procedure for serving criminal warrants on an inmate for a crime other than the one for which they are currently incarcerated. Presently, there is no statutorily defined procedure for serving a warrant for a new crime on an inmate, while incarcerated. The new procedure will allow a judicial officer to issue a warrant and a transportation order contemporaneously, to be served upon the inmate and the Department of Corrections. The Sheriff of the issuing jurisdiction would then serve the papers and transport the inmate to the issuing court for the required bail hearing and appointment of counsel.
