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.

Summary

The law requires that any jail‑time credit given for consecutive sentences can be applied only once, not to each case. It also sets stricter sentencing guidelines and mandates higher appearance bonds for people who commit a new felony while on probation, parole, post‑release supervision, or out on bond for a prior felony, unless a judge finds special circumstances. The changes focus on nondrug felonies and add a presumption that certain non‑citizens pose a flight risk.
