Offices of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel

Summary

The bill requires an office of criminal conflict and civil regional counsel to inform the court if it can no longer represent an indigent defendant in a death‑penalty case. The court must then appoint a conflict‑free regional counsel from another area, or a private attorney if none is available, and the Justice Administrative Commission will fund approved due‑process costs. It also directs how attorneys are appointed for alleged incapacitated persons.
