AI Summary
This bill, known as "Missy's Law," mandates that courts immediately detain individuals in custody without the possibility of release on bond if they plead guilty or are found guilty of a "dangerous crime," which is a term that has been expanded to include attempting or conspiring to commit such offenses, as well as violations related to computer pornography or child exploitation. This detention requirement applies while the person awaits sentencing, regardless of whether they plan to appeal, unless the conviction is overturned or nullified, or if they have already served the maximum sentence for the crime.
