Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning crimes, punishment and criminal procedure; relating to release of persons after conviction; requiring persons convicted of certain felonies to be held without bond in the county jail until sentencing; amending K.S.A. 22-2804 and repealing the existing section.
AI Summary
This bill, by amending K.S.A. 22-2804, requires individuals convicted of certain serious felonies to be held in county jail without bond until they are sentenced, meaning they cannot be released on bail. Specifically, this applies to convictions of any "off-grid felony" (a category of felony not ranked on the standard severity grid), any felony ranked in severity levels 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the nondrug grid, or any felony ranked in severity levels 1 or 2 of the drug grid. For individuals convicted of these offenses, if they were previously released on bond before trial, that bond will be immediately revoked, and they will be held without bond. If they were already in custody without having posted bond, their bond will be modified to ensure they are held without bond until sentencing. The bill also repeals the existing version of K.S.A. 22-2804, which previously allowed for release under certain conditions after conviction and pending sentencing or appeal.
