Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Courts report cases to state repository
Courts must send disposition details for other felony probation revocations and all class A and B misdemeanors and specified assaults, committed on or after July 1, 1993, to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s central repository. They must use a form or format the Attorney General approves and send it within 30 days of the final decision.
Standard court records and fast reporting
Sentencing and probation‑revocation journal entries must use Kansas Sentencing Commission forms. For felonies committed on or after July 1, 1993, courts must send a signed sentencing journal entry and the presentence report to the Commission within 30 days of sentencing. If probation is revoked and the person is sent to the Department of Corrections, the signed revocation entry must reach the Commission within 30 days of final disposition. Courts cannot accept or treat non‑Commission formats as valid for these submissions.
Uniform presentence reports in felony cases
Every presentence report after a felony conviction must use Kansas Sentencing Commission forms. A court services officer prepares it as soon as possible after conviction. It must include the crime facts, your version if you choose, a victim report, listed restitution, prior record, and the presumptive sentence or sanctions. Drug abuse assessments are included when state law requires them. Sharing of the report is limited to the parties, the judge, corrections and community corrections, interstate compact recipients, and the Sentencing Commission on request.
Old sentencing-report statutes are repealed
The law repeals K.S.A. 21-6813, 22-3426, 22-3426a, and 22-3439. The new uniform forms and reporting rules in this law replace those prior sections.
