An act relating to competency to stand trial

This bill changes Vermont's rules for criminal cases involving defendants found incompetent to stand trial. It requires charges to be dismissed if the defendant remains incompetent after the time limit for prosecution (statute of limitations) expires. The law also clarifies that the time limit pauses (is tolled) while the defendant is deemed incompetent, and restarts when competency is reassessed. This directly affects criminal defendants who are found incompetent and the prosecution's ability to proceed after the time limit.
