Debated Limits on Criminal Paper Filing and Convict Labor
The house debated a 40 day limit for filing papers at the court house, with critics arguing hardship and potential fraud. A proposed 20 day compromise failed as lawmakers moved to indefinite postponement and defeated the bill. The convicts question followed with debate on county chain gangs and labor versus penitentiary sentences, ending with a second reading approval and amendments to Channel 662 governing convict labor and sentencing limits.
