Restricting release on bond or final release

Known as the Roberta's Law

The act spans §§ 5149–5149 (30 sections).

Effective: July 24, 2002; Latest Legislation: House Bill 269 - 124th General Assembly

(A) When a sending state places a hold warrant or a detainer warrant on an offender supervised under the interstate compact for adult offender supervision who is in custody in this state and that warrant does not provide that the offender may be released on bond pending return to the sending state, no court of record in this state has authority to release the offender on bond until the sending state withdraws the warrant.

(B) A receiving state has no authority to grant a final release from supervision to any offender supervised under the interstate compact for adult offender supervision unless and until the final release has been approved by the supervising authority of the sending state. The sending state shall not unreasonably withhold such a final release and shall promptly communicate the release to the supervising authorities of the receiving state.
