House Bill No. by Representative Villio amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish new regulations regarding credit for time served in actual custody. The bill enacts Articles 880(F) and (G), which specifically prohibit defendants from receiving overlapping jail credit when consecutive sentences are imposed for multiple counts or charges. This applies even if the sentences are later corrected under existing law. The new provisions clarify that credit for time spent in custody will only be applied to one of the consecutive sentences.

Additionally, the bill states that any overlapping jail credit awarded in violation of these new regulations will be considered null, void, and of no effect. This legislative change aims to ensure that defendants do not receive double credit for time served when facing multiple sentences, thereby reinforcing the integrity of the sentencing process.
