Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

New $120 fee to move revocation cases

When a petition asks to transfer a revocation case, a $120 filing fee is required. The fee is charged each time a transfer petition is filed. The law does not say who pays the fee.

Revocation hearings can move counties

The law lets the county attorney where a new felony is charged ask to move a related revocation case there. This applies when the person has a prior suspended or deferred sentence in another county. The petition must be served on the original county attorney, the original sentencing judge, any victims, and the defendant. Revocation standards and possible penalties stay the same after the move.
