Providing that jail credit when consecutive sentences are imposed shall not apply to more than one case, creating special sentencing rules when a felony is committed by certain offenders while on probation, parole or postrelease supervision for a prior felony and requiring secured minimum bonds for certain defendants who commit a new felony while on probation, parole, postrelease supervision or bond for a prior felony unless the court makes certain findings.
This bill changes rules for sentencing and jail credit in Kansas. It limits how jail time credit can be applied when someone has multiple sentences. It also creates stricter sentencing rules for people who commit new felonies while already facing charges or serving time for a previous felony. Additionally, the bill makes it harder for people charged with felonies to be released on their own promise to appear in court, requiring secured bonds for certain individuals and creating a presumption that non-citizens are a flight risk.
