relative to restoration of competency to stand trial for criminal defendants.

HB 480 is a procedural bill directing the Judiciary Committee to complete its study on restoring competency to stand trial for criminal defendants. It requires the committee to submit any additional recommendations by July 1, 2025, following their November 2024 report. The bill does not change existing laws or directly affect defendants, courts, or legal procedures. It solely sets a deadline for the committee’s final recommendations to legislative leaders. This is a study-related measure, not a substantive policy change.
