Description
Indigent defendants; appointment of counsel. Provides that if no attorney who is on the list maintained by the Indigent Defense Commission is reasonably available, the court may appoint as counsel an attorney not on the list who has otherwise demonstrated to the court's satisfaction an appropriate level of training and experience. The court is required to provide notice of the appointment to the Commission. These provisions will expire on July 1, 2008. The bill also allows the court to waive qualifications for court-appointed counsel and states that a waiver does not form the basis for a claim of error. Read the Bill »
