Bill Summary
Relating to credit toward payment of a fine and costs for certain misdemeanants confined in jail or prison before sentencing.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow judges to credit defendants who were confined in jail or prison for another offense after committing a misdemeanor punishable only by a fine. The credit would be applied to the amount of the fine and costs at the same rate as credit for time served in jail while waiting for sentencing. The changes made by this bill apply to defendants sentenced on or after September 1, 2019, regardless of when the offense was committed.
