Bill Analysis

Summary: HB 212 would require a court to set a pre-trial hearing in cases involving a Class B misdemeanor or higher on request of the defendant. This bill notes that failure to comply with the pre-trial requirement is not grounds for the dismissal of a case.

Analysis: HB 212 relates to court administrative issues and does not fall under any of our liberty principles. We remain neutral on HB 212.
