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 forces anyone on felony probation or parole who is arrested for a new felony to have an initial hearing with a magistrate before they can be released under pre‑trial guidelines. It applies whether the arrest is on a warrant or not, and adds timing rules for magistrate approval and scheduling. The change aims to give judges quicker oversight of high‑risk defendants.
