Relates to the timely scheduling of criminal trials

This bill sets specific time limits for scheduling criminal trials based on the severity of charges. For felony cases, trials must begin within six months; for serious misdemeanors (over 3 months jail), within 90 days; for minor misdemeanors (under 3 months), within 60 days; and for violations, within 30 days. If trials aren't scheduled by these deadlines, defendants must be released on bail or their own recognizance, with certain delays (like court proceedings or defendant absence) excluded from the count. It directly affects defendants awaiting trial and requires prosecutors to meet these timelines.
