SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Issuance of process for the arrest of a person for capital murder. Provides that no law-enforcement officer shall seek issuance of process by any judicial officer for the arrest of a person for the offense of capital murder, without prior authorization by the attorney for the Commonwealth. This change is intended to limit the fees paid to court-appointed counsel for representation in a capital murder case when the case never proceeds as such.
