Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Higher fees and limits on supervision transfers
Offenders must be under Utah adult probation and parole supervision before applying to transfer supervision to another state. The transfer application fee rises from $50 to $90. That adds $40 to the cost of each application under the interstate compact.
No bail before interstate offenders return
Special arrest rules apply to people supervised under the interstate compact who allegedly violate supervision terms. With probable cause, courts must issue warrants for probation violations, and the parole board must issue warrants for parole violations. These warrants allow nationwide pickup and fall outside Utah's general arrest-warrant rules. People arrested on these warrants cannot get bail until they return to Utah and appear before the issuing court or board. The named law enforcement agency or Utah probation and parole division must transport them back.
Faster warrant updates for law enforcement
Utah magistrates and court clerks must report covered warrant actions to the state identification bureau within one day. This covers warrants that are issued, recalled, canceled, or changed. The bureau must send specified warrant records to the National Crime Information Center within 48 hours of receipt. Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays do not count toward that 48-hour deadline. Covered records include warrants allowing people supervised under the interstate compact to be returned to Utah.
