House Bill No. by Representative Egan amends Code of Criminal Procedure Article 873, which governs the time period between a felony conviction and sentencing. The bill stipulates that a minimum of three days must elapse between the conviction and the imposition of a sentence. It also addresses the situation when a motion for a new trial or in arrest of judgment is filed, stating that sentencing shall not occur until a specified time after the motion is overruled.

The key change introduced by this bill is the removal of the previous requirement that at least 24 hours must pass after a motion is overruled before a sentence can be imposed. This amendment allows for more flexibility in the sentencing process, as it eliminates the mandatory waiting period while still retaining the three-day minimum delay between conviction and sentencing. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the sentencing process while maintaining certain procedural safeguards.
