BILL NUMBER:S3073 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to the requirement of preparing pre-sentence reports and the waiver of such reports under certain circumstances, and to repeal the closing paragraph of paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 390.20 of such law relating to waiver of pre-sentence reports where indeterminate sentences are to be imposed PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to save the State money by elimi- nating the costly requirement of Pre-Sentence Investigations (PSIs) and related written reports where they serve no useful purpose. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of Criminal Procedure Law ("CPL") section 390.20 to provide that pre-sentence investigation ("PSI") requirement for persons convicted of a felony shall not apply when a negotiated sentence of imprisonment has been agreed upon by the parties as the result of a conviction or revocation of a sentence of probation, and no sentence of probation will be imposed. Section 2 amends subdivision 2 of CPL section 390.20 to remove the requirement of a pre-sentence report ("PSR") in the case of a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor, even in the circumstances listed in CPL 390.20(2)(a)-(c).
