A bill for an act requiring an initial appearance before a magistrate on new felony charges by a person on felony probation or parole.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that anyone on felony probation or parole who is arrested on a new felony must first appear before a magistrate. The magistrate must approve the release within 24 hours or issue a new warrant. This adds a judicial check before such individuals can be released under pre‑trial guidelines.
