Modifying criminal sentencing rules applicable in multiple conviction cases where consecutive sentences may be imposed by the sentencing judge and the sentence for the primary crime is a nonprison sentence.

Summary

The bill changes Kansas law on multiple‑conviction sentencing when the main offense carries a non‑prison penalty. It requires that the supervision period be based only on the longest term among the offenses, rather than adding them together. The change aims to prevent overly long supervision for defendants whose primary crime does not involve jail time.
