This Act codifies much of the current local practice by the police and the Justice of the Peace Court when handling defendants who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or who have to be hospitalized at the time of arrest on serious charge and are unable to appear for presentments. For those defendants who are hospitalized, the transfer of custody provided for in this Bill allows the arresting officer to return to patrol or other public safety duties in a more timely manner, while allowing the defendant access to bail.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Timing Of An Initial Hearing Before A Judge Of A Person Who Is Temporarily Incapacitated.
