House Bill No. by Representative Egan amends Code of Criminal Procedure Article 873, which governs the delay between a felony conviction and sentencing. The bill stipulates that a minimum of three days must pass between the conviction and the sentencing. Additionally, if a motion for a new trial or an arrest of judgment is filed, sentencing cannot occur until at least twenty-four hours after the motion is overruled.

The bill also allows for immediate sentencing if the defendant waives the delay or pleads guilty. Notably, the term "sentence" has been changed to "sentencing" in the legal language, and the phrase "at least twenty-four hours" has been removed from the context of the delay after a motion is overruled. These changes aim to clarify the timing and conditions under which sentencing can occur following a felony conviction.
