HB 513 -- Sentencing

Sponsor:  Hosmer

Current law allows a defendant to receive a reduction in
punishment for an offense when the punishment is reduced by a
statute enacted after the offense was committed but before the
defendant is sentenced.  This bill eliminates that provision.

The bill also removes the power of the Board of Probation and
Parole to convert consecutive sentences to concurrent sentences
when determining a total prison term.
