House Bill 710 amends the Government Code to provide for the issuance of a summons to appear at a hearing, instead of a warrant, to a person who, in addition to meeting other criteria, is charged only with committing a certain new offense after the first anniversary of the person's release on parole or to mandatory supervision and to apply that same time frame to the circumstances under which a person may be issued such a summons after committing an administrative violation of release. The bill revises procedures for the issuance of a warrant requiring a releasee who has violated a condition of parole or mandatory supervision to be held in county jail.
