Justice System Amendments

Summary

The bill lets a city attorney appoint a deputy attorney to act as a public prosecutor or civil counsel and to temporarily deputize other qualified lawyers. It also gives judges the ability to reduce a defendant’s conviction to a lesser offense when the defendant provides substantial assistance or meets specific rehabilitation or probation criteria. The changes aim to increase flexibility in municipal prosecution and encourage defendants to help law enforcement.
