Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill reorganizes each chapter of the criminal procedure code, with the
exception of chapter 973, Sentencing. This analysis is organized in the ascending
order of the chapters, as reorganized in the bill. This bill creates subchapters in long
chapters, separates long statutes into shorter statutes, reorganizes individual
statutes, and provides titles for some provisions. This bill also creates new authority
for courts and codifies some current practices.
Under this bill, chapter 967 contains definitions of terms used throughout the
criminal procedure code and general provisions that, under current law, appear
throughout the criminal procedure code. The bill also adds definitions for
"complaint," "district attorney," "felony," "misdemeanor," "motion," and "sentencing."
This bill moves to chapter 968 all current law provisions relating to
investigative procedures such as inquests, John Doe proceedings, grand juries,
wiretapping, and search and seizure provisions.
This bill creates a process that requires a court, upon the request of a district
attorney and a showing that the information requested is relevant to a criminal
investigation, to order a financial institution to disclose to the district attorney
whether the person named in the order has or had an account at the financial
institution.
Under this bill, chapter 969 contains provisions addressing arrest and release,
identifies ways to secure the appearance of a defendant, and includes provisions
intended to expedite the processing of misdemeanors. Under current law, a citation
issued by a law enforcement officer directs a person to appear in court and answer
criminal charges. The citation may not be used as a criminal complaint. This bill
allows a citation for a misdemeanor that is issued by a law enforcement officer to be
used as a criminal complaint if the district attorney endorses it. The bill specifies the
contents of the citation, such as the crime the person allegedly committed, the date
of the commission, and the maximum penalty for the crime. The bill requires a law
enforcement officer citing a person for a misdemeanor to release the person without
a cash bond unless certain circumstances apply, including if the person does not give
proper identification or appears to endanger a person or property.
Under current law, a law enforcement officer generally may release a person
who is arrested without a warrant without requiring the person to appear before a
judge if the law enforcement officer is satisfied that there are insufficient grounds
for the issuance of a criminal complaint against the person. Under this bill, a law
enforcement officer may release such a person without determining that there are
insufficient grounds for the issuance of a criminal complaint.
Under current law, a person arrested for a criminal offense may be released
under reasonable conditions that the court sets at an initial appearance. This bill
provides that, with exceptions, a district attorney may release an arrested person

before the initial appearance if the person signs a bond. The district attorney may
not impose monetary conditions of release but may impose other conditions,
including requiring the person to report any address change or to appear at specified
times and places for investigative purposes or restricting the person from contacting
a specified person or from possessing a dangerous weapon. The district attorney,
when determining whether to release on bond, may consider all of the following: if
the defendant has provided proper identification, if the defendant is willing to
comply with the conditions of the bond, if the defendant appears to pose a danger to
a person or property, if the defendant can show sufficient ties to the community, if
the defendant has previously failed to appear in response to a citation, subpoena,
summons, or order of court, and if further detention appears necessary for
investigative activities.
If the court orders release, this bill requires the court to release the defendant
to return on a specific date without conditions; on a personal recognizance bond; on
an unsecured appearance bond; or on a secured appearance bond. This bill also
allows a third party who has deposited cash for the release of a defendant on a
secured appearance bond to apply to the court for an order to return the deposit
before the entry of a judgment of conviction or forfeiture. The court then may
determine whether to remit the deposit and whether to modify the conditions of
release.
This bill requires a court, except in extraordinary circumstances, to release a
person who is arrested without a warrant within 48 hours of the arrest unless the
court has determined there is probable cause that the person committed an offense.
Under this bill, chapter 970 contains provisions relating to the commencement
of prosecutions. Under current law, a defendant in a felony case is entitled to a
preliminary examination, at which the court determines whether there is probable
cause to believe that the defendant committed a felony. This bill eliminates the
preliminary examination.
This bill replaces several statutes governing deferred prosecution agreements
in specific cases with a single, general statute defining and authorizing deferred and
suspended prosecution agreements. The bill provides that the same standards that
govern a district attorney's charging authority also govern the district attorney's
authority to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement and that the same
standards that apply to a court's authority to schedule cases and grant continuances
apply to a court's authority to suspend prosecution under a suspended prosecution
agreement. Under this bill, both a deferred prosecution agreement and a suspended
prosecution agreement are enforceable in the same manner as a plea agreement. The
bill further notes that consenting to a deferred prosecution or suspended prosecution
agreement is not an admission of guilt nor is it admissible in a trial relating to the
charge to which the agreement pertains. This bill makes generally applicable a
provision in current law that grants immunity from civil liability in excess of $25,000
for acts or omissions by an organization or individual for whom an agreement assigns
an individual to work.
Under this bill, chapter 971 addresses pretrial procedures and contains
subchapters for commencement of proceedings, pleas, and provisions to expedite

proceedings, discovery, motions, and juveniles in adult court. This bill creates a
single, general statute for plea agreements. The bill provides that the district
attorney and the defendant, without the court's participation, may reach a plea
agreement. The agreement may require the district attorney, if the defendant enters
a plea of guilty or no contest, to take certain actions, including moving to dismiss or
amend any charge; recommending the defendant's request for a particular
disposition; or agreeing that a specific disposition is appropriate. The bill also
creates a single statute to clarify, and explain the consequences of, the different pleas
available to the defendant.
Under current law, before a criminal court dismisses a case against a person,
the court must inquire if the district attorney has offered all of the victims an
opportunity to confer with the district attorney concerning the prosecution and
outcome of the case. This bill codifies case law by adding that, if the district attorney
moves to dismiss a complaint, the trial court must grant the motion unless the court
finds that dismissal is contrary to the public interest or, if the motion is made during
the trial, unless the defendant has not consented. If the court grants the motion, the
action is dismissed and the clerk must enter an order to that effect.
The bill requires the court to grant a motion, made before sentencing, to
withdraw a plea of guilty or no contest if a fair and just reason for doing so is
established and requires the court to grant such a motion, made after sentencing, if
the defendant did not knowingly, voluntarily, and understandingly enter the plea or
if withdrawal is required to prevent a manifest injustice. Finally, the bill specifies
that a withdrawal of a plea of guilty or no contest vacates the judgment, reinstates
any original charge, and restores the parties to the position they were in before the
plea was accepted.
Under this bill, the purpose of discovery is defined as to promote fair and
expeditious disposition of criminal charges, to provide the defendant with sufficient
information to make an informed plea, to permit thorough preparation for and
minimize surprise at trial, to reduce interruptions and complications during trial
and avoid unnecessary trials by resolving any issues before trial, to minimize
inequities among similarly situated defendants, to effect economies, and to minimize
the burden upon victims and witnesses.
Current law requires a district attorney, upon demand and within a reasonable
time before trial, to disclose to the defendant any reports or statements of experts
made in connection with the case or, if an expert does not prepare a report or
statement, a written summary of the expert's findings or the subject of his or her
testimony, and the results of any examination, scientific test, experiment, or
comparison that the district attorney intends to offer in evidence. This bill requires
any party who intends to call an expert witness to, not less than 15 days before trial,
notify the party of the expert's name, address, and qualifications and furnish any
reports or statements of experts made in connection with the case or, if none, a
written summary of the expert's findings or the subject matter of his or her testimony,
and the results of any mental examination, scientific test, experiment, or comparison
that the party intends to offer in evidence.

Under this bill, before trial and upon motion by either party, the court may issue
a subpoena to require the production of documents and other tangible objects if the
evidence may be material to the determination of issues. The motion and the
subpoena must specify who must produce the material, whether certified copies of
documents may be submitted in lieu of appearance, and other conditions.
Under this bill, the disclosure of discoverable material may be accomplished in
any manner mutually agreeable to the parties. If the parties do not agree, the party
that has the duty to disclose must either provide a copy of the material to be disclosed
or notify the other party that the material may be inspected, copied, or photographed
during specified reasonable times and provide suitable machinery for making copies.
Under current law, courts use their authority to manage litigation to specify
times for discovery, pretrial motions, notices of intent to offer an alibi or another
defense, pretrial conferences, trials, and other proceedings. This bill codifies this
specific authority to issue and amend scheduling orders.
Under this bill, the court may, upon motion by the district attorney, order a
defendant to participate in a procedure to obtain nontestimonial evidence if the
procedure is reasonable. Such procedures include appearing, moving, or speaking
for identification in a lineup; trying on clothing and other articles; providing
handwriting and voice exemplars; being photographed; having fingerprints or other
body impressions taken; providing samples of blood, urine, saliva, semen, skin,
breath, hair, or nails or materials under the nails; submitting to body measurements
and other reasonable body surface examinations; and submitting to physical and
medical inspection.
Under this bill, the court may, upon motion of a defendant, issue a subpoena
requiring an individual to participate in a procedure to obtain nontestimonial
evidence if an affidavit or testimony shows probable cause to believe that the
individual to be subpoenaed committed the crime with which the defendant is
charged and that the evidence sought is necessary to an adequate defense and cannot
practicably be obtained from other sources.
Under this bill, the district attorney may provide discovery before the initial
appearance. At the initial appearance this bill requires the district attorney to
disclose, after the defendant has obtained or waived legal representation, any
pertinent law enforcement investigative reports the district attorney has and a copy
of the defendant's criminal record.
Under current law, the procedure for asserting that a statute is
unconstitutional is located in the civil procedure statutes. This bill adds a procedure
to the criminal procedure code that provides that, if a defendant moves to dismiss a
criminal prosecution by asserting that the statute under which he or she is charged
is unconstitutional, the defendant must serve the motion on the attorney general and
the district attorney.
This bill specifies that, if a defendant moves for severance because a
codefendant's out-of-court statement refers to, but is not admissible against, the
defendant and the court determines that the state intends to offer the statement in
evidence, the court must require the district attorney to elect one of the following:
1) a joint trial at which the statement is not received in evidence; 2) a joint trial at

which the statement is received in evidence only after all references to the defendant
have been deleted, if admission of the statement with the deletions made will not
cause prejudice; 3) a separate trial for the defendant; or 4) if the court approves, a
single trial with a separate jury for the defendant and the codefendant.
This bill permits a defendant to move for a pretrial dismissal of the complaint.
The motion must state the grounds and specify the following: 1) any elements or
required facts that the defendant believes the state cannot prove because there is no
genuine issue as to any material fact; 2) any evidence, or absence of evidence, that
the defendant believes is uncontroverted and that establishes the grounds stated in
the motion, and 3) any applicable included crime that the defendant believes the
state cannot prove at trial because there is no genuine issue as to any material fact.
If the grounds, if true, would justify granting the dismissal motion and the
allegations in the complaint do not demonstrate that there is a genuine issue of
material fact as to those grounds, the district attorney may file a written response
to establish the elements or other facts that the state is required to prove at trial.
The court may request that the district attorney and defense counsel present
arguments and may allow testimony to resolve the questions whether a genuine
issue of material fact exists. Unless the court denies the motion because the grounds,
if true, would not justify granting the motion or because the allegations demonstrate
a genuine issue of material fact, the court must rule on the motion based on the
complaint, the material submitted by the defendant in support of the motion, and
material, testimony, or argument presented. If the court concludes, for the reasons
specified in the motion, that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, the
court must either grant the motion or allow the district attorney to amend the
complaint.
Under this bill, chapter 972 contains statutes relating to criminal trials. Under
this bill, if the court authorizes the jurors to ask questions of witnesses, the court
must instruct the jury to ask only questions that clarify information already
presented and must instruct the jury of the procedure to be used. The procedure
provides that the juror must submit the question in writing to the judge who will
show the question to the parties. The parties may object to the question without the
jury knowing. If the judge, upon reviewing the question and any objections,
determines that the question is legally proper, the judge may ask it of the witness.
Under current law, if the number of jurors, including any additional jurors
selected, remains more than required at final submission of the cause, the court must
determine by lot which jurors will not participate in deliberations and discharge
them. Under this bill, the court may, for good cause, discharge additional jurors other
than by lot. Moreover, this bill allows the court to determine which jurors will not
participate in deliberations but retain those jurors as alternates after the jury retires
to deliberate. If an alternate replaces a juror after deliberations have begun, the
court must instruct the jury to begin its deliberations anew.
This bill defines "stipulation" as an agreement between the parties that a
specified fact is taken as established without need for proof. Further, a stipulation
must be set forth on the record when the court accepts it, and, in a jury trial, the court
must instruct the jury to take stipulated facts as conclusively proved.

Finally, this bill specifies that a verdict must be unanimous and returned in
open court. Under current case law, a defendant in a criminal case has the right to
poll the jury, and refusal to permit the defendant to do so is an error for which the
verdict will be set aside. This bill requires a court to ask each juror individually
whether the verdict as returned was and is the juror's verdict. This bill requires the
court to accept the verdict if it is in proper form and confirmed by the poll.
Under this bill, chapter 975 addresses mental health issues affecting a criminal
prosecution such as competency to stand trial and mental responsibility, commonly
known as the "insanity defense." Under current law, when there is reason to doubt
a defendant's competency to proceed in a criminal action, the court must appoint an
examiner to submit to the court a report upon the condition of the defendant that
contains specified findings. This bill adds that, if the examiner reports that the
defendant is not competent to proceed and that the defendant is not likely to become
competent within the maximum period of commitment under the competency
statutes, the examiner must provide his or her opinion on whether the defendant
meets the criteria for civil commitment.
The bill reorganizes the competency hearing statutes and makes certain
changes to burdens of persuasion. Under current law, at the outset of the competency
hearing, if the defendant claims to be incompetent or is silent, the defendant must
be found incompetent unless the state proves by the greater weight of the credible
evidence that the defendant is competent. Under current law, if the defendant claims
to be competent, the defendant must be found competent unless the state proves by
clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is incompetent. Under the bill, the
state has the burden of going forward with evidence at a competency hearing, and
the court may find the defendant competent to proceed only if the court finds by the
greater weight of the evidence that the defendant is competent to proceed. The bill
specifies the following: 1) if the defendant is not competent and the court finds by
the greater weight of the evidence that the defendant is not likely to become
competent within the maximum period of commitment, the court must order the
defendant be released or delivered to a facility; 2) if the defendant is not competent
and the court finds by the greater weight of the evidence that the defendant is likely
to become competent within the maximum period of commitment without inpatient
treatment, the court must order that the defendant be released and may require the
defendant to participate in outpatient treatment, or undergo periodic
reexaminations to determine whether the defendant has become competent to
proceed, for a period that does not exceed the maximum period of commitment; or 3)
if the defendant is not competent and the court finds by clear and convincing evidence
that the defendant is likely to become competent within the maximum period of
commitment if provided appropriate inpatient treatment, the court must commit the
defendant to the custody of the Department of Health Services (DHS) for treatment.
Finally, if the defendant is committed to the department and the court finds by clear
and convincing evidence that the defendant is not competent to refuse medication or
treatment, the court must find that the defendant is not competent to refuse
medication or treatment and must order whoever administers medication or
treatment to the defendant to observe appropriate medical standards.

Under current law, if the defendant is committed to the custody of DHS for
treatment following a competency proceeding, the days spent in commitment are
given credit toward the service of his or her sentence for the same course of conduct.
This bill requires the court to include in the commitment order a specific finding of
the number of days spent in precommitment custody.
Current law requires DHS to periodically reexamine the defendant and to
submit to the court a written report on the defendant's mental condition at three
months, six months, and nine months after commitment. This bill requires an
additional report if DHS determines that the defendant has become competent or
that the defendant is not likely to become competent within the remaining
commitment period and requires the court to schedule a review of this additional
report within 14 days.
This bill creates a process for the court to follow whenever the court determines
there is reason to doubt a defendant's ability, with a reasonable degree of rational
understanding, to assist counsel or make decisions when seeking an appeal or a
motion for postconviction relief. Pending the determination or after a finding of
incompetency, the circuit court may allow proceedings on any issue raised by the
defendant's attorney that rests on the records, does not require the defendant to
assist counsel or make a decision, and involves no risk to the defendant and the court
of appeals may grant the defendant a continuance or lengthen the time for filing
necessary notices or motions for postconviction relief. If the court finds that the
defendant lacks competency, the court may appoint a guardian to make decisions or
order treatment to restore the defendant to competency to pursue postconviction
relief. Finally, the bill provides that a defendant who lacks competency to pursue
postconviction relief may, after regaining competency, raise any issue at a later
proceeding that he or she did not raise earlier because of incompetency.
Under current law, if a defendant is found not guilty by reason of mental disease
or defect, the court must enter a judgment of not guilty by reason of mental disease
or defect and proceed to commitment. The judgment is interlocutory to the
commitment order and reviewable upon appeal. Under this bill, the court must
proceed to a dispositional hearing and the commitment order is the final order and
is appealable as a matter of right. Upon appeal, this bill provides that all properly
preserved issues, including those relating to the guilt phase of the trial, may be
raised.
