2012 House Bill 5804: Establish statewide indigent criminal defense standards (House Roll Call 593)
Passed 71 to 36 in the House on November 8, 2012, to create a commission to establish statewide standards and accountability measures for court-appointed attorneys who represent indigent criminal defendants, and a new state office to implement and enforce these. Local governments would be responsible for funding this at current levels (“maintenance of effort”), with the state paying for any additional spending required by new standards, unless the local spending is below minimum levels to be determined by the proposed commission.
