LR 2195
Item 1
 
The first of the 3 added appeals was enacted as part of the
sentencing alternative of supervised release for sex offenders.
The 2nd of the 3 added appeals was enacted as part of the
sentencing alternative of administrative release. The 3rd of the
3 added appeals was inadvertently omitted when Title 15, section
1 was rewritten to capture each of the then-existing appeals and
petitions.

 
This bill replaces the outdated reference to abrogated Rule
37F of the Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure with Rule 36 of the
Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure. This bill also codifies what
is currently done by implication alone, that the Superior Court's
jurisdiction to hear appeals and petitions is limited to only the
appeals and petitions from the District Court that are specified
in Title 15, section 1, subsection 2.
