HB 1399 -- PRESENTENCING ASSESSMENT REPORTS

SPONSOR: Justus

Currently, as part of a presentence investigation, a probation officer must inquire of the victim of an offense about the facts of the offense and any personal injury or financial loss incurred by the victim when a jury enters a finding of guilt and assesses punishment. This bill adds the same requirement when a judge enters a finding of guilt and assesses punishment.
