Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to address procedures for individuals arrested in one county with outstanding warrants from another county.
HB4001 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to establish procedures for individuals arrested in one county with outstanding warrants from another county. It mandates that the arresting county's court must first handle the newly filed charges before notifying the issuing county of the arrest. The issuing county may then decide to transport the individual for a hearing or release them with a notice to appear in court. The bill also allows for virtual hearings under certain conditions and outlines the process when multiple warrants exist.
