Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

Section 1. K.S.A. 22-2805 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22- 2805. (a) If it appears by affidavit that the testimony of a person is material in any criminal proceeding or in any proceeding under the Kansas juvenile offenders code, K.S.A. 38-1601 et seq. and amendments thereto, and it is shown that it may become impracticable to secure the witness' presence by subpoena, the court or magistrate may require the witness to give bond in an amount fixed by the court or magistrate, or to comply with other conditions to assure the witness' appearance as a witness. If a person fails to comply with the conditions of release, the court or magistrate may, after hearing, commit the witness to the custody of the sheriff or marshal pending final disposition of the proceeding in which the testimony is needed. A material witness shall not be held in custody more than 30 days unless the court or magistrate, after hearing, determines that there is good cause to hold the witness for an additional period of not more than 30 days. No material witness shall be detained because of inability to comply with any condition of release if the testimony of the witness can be secured for use at trial or in any proceeding under the Kansas juvenile offenders code, K.S.A. 38-1601 et seq. and amendments thereto by deposition, and further detention is not necessary to prevent a failure of justice. Release may be delayed for a reasonable time until the depo- sition of the witness can be taken pursuant to K.S.A. 22-3211.

(b) The court or magistrate shall appoint counsel to represent a wit- ness committed to custody pursuant to this section when the court or magistrate determines that the witness is financially unable to employ counsel, based on the same standards as used to determine if a defendant is able to employ counsel. Such appointment shall be from the panel for indigents' defense services or as otherwise prescribed under the appli- cable system for providing legal defense services for indigent persons prescribed by the state board of indigents' defense services for the county or judicial district. In any proceeding under the Kansas juvenile offenders code, K.S.A. 38-1601 et seq. and amendments thereto, such appointment shall be pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1606 and amendments thereto. The witness may obtain necessary investigative, expert and other services in the man- ner provided by K.S.A. 22-4508 and amendments thereto. Payment for the counsel and other services shall be made in the manner provided by K.S.A. 22-4507 and amendments thereto.

Sec. 3. K.S.A. 22-2901 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22- 2901. (1) Except as provided in subsection (7), when an arrest is made in the county where the crime charged is alleged to have been committed, the person arrested shall be taken without unnecessary delay before a magistrate of the court from which the warrant was issued. If the arrest has been made on probable cause, without a warrant, he shall be taken without unnecessary delay before the nearest available magistrate and a complaint shall be filed forthwith.

(2) Except as provided in subsection (7), when an arrest is made in a county other than where the crime charged is alleged to have been com- mitted, the person arrested may be taken directly to the county wherein the crime is alleged to have been committed without unnecessary delay or at the request of the defendant he shall be taken without unnecessary delay before the nearest available magistrate. Such magistrate shall as- certain the nature of the crime charged in the warrant and the amount of the bond, if any, endorsed on the warrant. If no warrant for the arrest of the person is before the magistrate he shall make use of telephonic, telegraphic or radio communication to ascertain the nature of the charge and the substance of any warrant that has been issued. If no warrant has been issued, a complaint shall be filed and a warrant issued in the county where the crime is alleged to have been committed, and the nature of the charge, the substance of the warrant, and the amount of the bond shall be communicated to the magistrate before whom the defendant is in custody. Upon receipt of such information, the magistrate shall proceed as hereinafter provided.

(3) The magistrate shall fix the terms and conditions of the appear- ance bond upon which the defendant may be released. If the first ap- pearance is before a magistrate in a county other than where the crime is alleged to have been committed, the magistrate may release the defen- dant on an appearance bond in an amount not less than that endorsed on the warrant. The defendant shall be required to appear before the mag- istrate who issued the warrant or a magistrate of a court having jurisdic- tion on a day certain, not more than 10 days thereafter.

(4) If the defendant is released on an appearance bond to appear before the magistrate in another county, the magistrate who accepts the appearance bond shall forthwith transmit such appearance bond and all other papers relating to the case to the magistrate before whom the de- fendant is to appear.

(5) If the person arrested cannot provide an appearance bond, or if the crime is not bailable, the magistrate shall commit him to jail pending further proceedings or shall order him delivered to a law enforcement officer of the county where the crime is alleged to have been committed.

(6) The provisions of this section shall not apply to a person who is arrested on a bench warrant. Such persons shall without unnecessary delay be taken before the magistrate who issued the bench warrant.
