Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME; PROVIDING CONTINUING SENTENCING JURISDICTION TO THE COURT REGARDING CONVICTIONS FOR POSSESSING A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to grant courts continuing sentencing jurisdiction over convictions for possessing a controlled substance, meaning that if a person violates the terms of their probation after a suspended or deferred sentence for a controlled substance offense, the court can impose the full original sentence without giving credit for any time already served on probation. This change aims to provide judges with more flexibility and authority in handling cases where individuals re-offend after receiving leniency.
