Complete·3/27/26

Kansas SB358 requires individuals convicted of certain felonies to be held without bond in the county jail until sentencing.

Kansas SB358 amends the state's criminal procedure laws to mandate that individuals convicted of specific felonies must be held without bond in the county jail until their sentencing. This applies to those convicted of felonies ranked in severity level 1, 2, or those listed on the drug grid. If a convicted person was released on bond prior to trial, the bond is revoked immediately, and they are remanded without bond. The bill also modifies the conditions for release for those convicted of crimes and awaiting sentence or those who have filed a notice of appeal.
