1 22 EXPLANATION
1 23 This bill restricts a person's ability to post a bond upon
1 24 a conviction of or when appealing any felony stalking charge.
1 25 The bill requires that a person who pleads to or is convicted
1 26 at trial of any felony stalking charge remain in jail without
1 27 bond pending sentencing. The bill also requires any person
1 28 sentenced to prison for felony stalking to remain in prison
1 29 without the ability to post an appeal bond pending the final
1 30 decision by a reviewing court.
1 31 Current law generally permits a person awaiting sentencing
1 32 after a plea of guilty or a conviction at trial to post bond
1 33 and remain out of jail until a sentence has been imposed. If
1 34 the person is sentenced to jail or prison, and appeals the
1 35 case, current law ordinarily allows a person to post an appeal
2 1 bond and remain free pending the final decision by the
2 2 reviewing court on appeal.
