ANNOTATION

This part 3 applies only to those persons convicted of crimes committed on or after July 1, 1979, which reflects a legislative decision that persons convicted of more than one offense may not receive double credits while serving sentences resulting from the circumstance that the offenses were committed both before and on or after July 1, 1979.
