HB 1894 -- Detainers

Sponsor:  Jones (89)

This bill requires delivery by a law enforcement agency,
prosecuting attorney's office, or circuit attorney's office of a
certified copy of a warrant and a request for a detainer to the
facility where an offender is confined before any prisoner can
request a final disposition of any untried indictment,
information, or complaint.  Any failure by the facility director
to notify the inmate of the filing of a detainer will not be a
basis for dismissing the indictment, information, or complaint
unless the court finds that the offender has been denied his or
her constitutional right to a speedy trial.
