Summary

The Respect Judicial Decisions Act requires district attorneys to file an information only for offenses named in the commitment order or shown by the preliminary examination that were not dismissed by the magistrate. If a charge was dismissed, the prosecutor must first move to have the magistrate reinstate the charge before it can be added to an information. The bill also sets procedures for transcripts, appeals, and reimbursement of any state‑mandated costs to local agencies.
