A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6193 AS INTRODUCED 9-24-98

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to change the date when the supreme court's sentencing guidelines would no longer apply and when the legislatively enacted guidelines would take effect. The date would be changed from January 1, 1999 to December 15, 1998. [Note: The bill amends the changes made by Public Act 317 of 1998. The public act provided for an effective date of December 15, 1998; however, the act's internal references provided that the sentencing guidelines established by the supreme court would not apply to felonies committed on or after January 1, 1999 and that on or after January 1, 1999, the minimum sentence for a crime would be determined under the sentencing guidelines in effect on the date the crime was committed. It is these dates that would be changed by the bill so that the legislatively enacted guidelines would take effect on December 15, 1998.]
