HB 1446 Presentence investigations and reports.

Introduced by: Kenneth R. Melvin | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Presentence investigations and reports. Provides that presentence investigations and reports shall be required only when the defendant pleads guilty without a plea agreement or after a finding of guilty by the court after a plea of not guilty. Last year’s amendments, to become effective July 1, 1999, mandate a presentence report in every case (including, implicitly, plea agreements). This change would allow a court to issue a sentence agreed upon in a plea agreement without the report and an additional hearing.
