HF 2787: Prohibiting warrant resolution clinics, including enforcement mechanisms, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions

Signed into law

What it does

This bill prohibits warrant resolution clinics and includes enforcement mechanisms. The bill defines “warrant resolution clinic” as any prearranged event, program, assembly, arrangement, docket setting, or coordinated effort, whether formal or informal, other than a regularly scheduled court proceeding held within a courthouse or judicial facility, designed or having the practical effect of allowing individuals with outstanding arrest warrants to appear and resolve such warrants without being subject to immediate arrest and custodial processing, regardless of how such event, program, assembly, arrangement, docket setting, or effort is designated or characterized.
