Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB305 by Hayes (relating to the time period for conducting pretrial hearings after a criminal defendant has been restored to competency.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
The bill would not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision. It is assumed that any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
