CO HB1109

Court must order placement of paroles arrested for crimes of violence into Department of Corrections custody after bond hearing, and they must be detained at a correctional facility while awaiting parole revocation hearing.

Jail keeper must notify the Department of Corrections within 24 hours of taking custody of such a parolee, and the Department and keeper must arrange transfer to a correctional facility as soon as practicable after the bond hearing.

Department of Corrections must reimburse counties and cities and counties for one-half the cost of transporting parolees to state correctional facilities under this provision.

Repeals requirement that community parole officers request deferral of parole revocation proceedings when a parolee is arrested for a criminal offense; now permits such deferral request at officer's discretion.

Act takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, subject to referendum petition; applies to persons arrested on or after the effective date.
