Establishes a new 30-day timeframe for conducting a probable cause hearing:  In Morrissey v. Brewer the court held that due process requires a prompt inquiry. While Morrissey did not establish a specific time period to conduct the hearing, it did recognize the requirement of applying timeliness to due process. This proposal sets out to address those probable cause hearings requested by the sending state that far exceed what one could reasonably consider timely. Such delays or inaction violate and infringe upon a supervised individual’s due process. The proposed language seeks to rectify such timeliness issues for transferred individuals who are subject to retaking and for whom a probable cause hearing has been requested by the sending state.
