Relates to caseload relief

This bill sets annual caseload limits for public defenders representing low-income clients in criminal cases. It requires that no public defender handle more than 367 misdemeanor cases or 138 felony cases per year, with each felony counting as roughly 2.66 misdemeanors in mixed caseloads. The law applies specifically to constitutionally mandated public defense services in criminal matters. The policy aims to ensure defenders have manageable workloads to provide adequate representation.
