specifically designated by the court in the sentencing order of the journal
entry of judgment or the judgment form, whichever is delivered with the
defendant to the correctional institution, such date shall be established
to reflect and shall be computed as an allowance for the time which the
defendant has spent incarcerated pending the disposition of the defend-
ant's case. In recording the commencing date of such sentence the date
as specifically set forth by the court shall be used as the date of sentence
and all good time allowances as are authorized by the Kansas adult au-
thority parole board are to be allowed on such sentence from such date
as though the defendant were actually incarcerated in any of the insti-
tutions of the state correctional system. Such jail time credit is not to be
considered to reduce the minimum or maximum terms of confinement
as are authorized by law for the offense of which the defendant has been
convicted.

      Sec.  8. K.S.A. 22-3303 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22-
3303. (1) A defendant who is charged with a felony and is found to be
incompetent to stand trial shall be committed for evaluation and treat-
ment to the state security hospital or any appropriate county or private
institution. A defendant who is charged with a misdemeanor and is found
to be incompetent to stand trial shall be committed for evaluation and
treatment to any appropriate state, county or private institution. Any such
commitment shall be for a period of not to exceed 90 days. Within 90
days after the defendant's commitment to such institution, the chief med-
ical officer of such institution shall certify to the court whether the de-
fendant has a substantial probability of attaining competency to stand trial
in the foreseeable future. If such probability does exist, the court shall
order the defendant to remain in an appropriate state, county or private
institution until the defendant attains competency to stand trial or for a
period of six months from the date of the original commitment, whichever
occurs first. If such probability does not exist, the court shall order the
secretary of social and rehabilitation services to commence involuntary
commitment proceedings pursuant to article 29 of chapter 59 of the Kan-
sas Statutes Annotated, and any amendments thereto. When a defendant
is charged with any off-grid felony, any nondrug severity level 1 through
3 felony, or a violation of K.S.A. 21-3504, 21-3511, 21-3518, 21-3603 or
21-3719, and amendments thereto, and commitment proceedings have
commenced, for such proceeding, ``mentally ill person subject to invol-
untary commitment for care and treatment'' means a mentally ill person,
as defined in subsection (e) of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-2946, and amend-
ments thereto, who is likely to cause harm to self and others, as defined
in subsection (f)(3) of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-2946, and amendments
thereto. The other provisions of subsection (f) of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-
2946, and amendments thereto, shall not apply.

      (2) If a defendant who was found to have had a substantial probability
of attaining competency to stand trial, as provided in subsection (1), has
not attained competency to stand trial within six months from the date
of the original commitment, the court shall order the secretary of social
and rehabilitation services to commence involuntary commitment pro-
ceedings pursuant to article 29 of chapter 59 of the Kansas Statutes An-
notated, and any amendments thereto. When a defendant is charged with
any off-grid felony, any nondrug severity level 1 through 3 felony, or a
violation of K.S.A. 21-3504, 21-3511, 21-3518, 21-3603 or 21-3719, and
amendments thereto, and commitment proceedings have commenced, for
such proceeding, ``mentally ill person subject to involuntary commitment
for care and treatment'' means a mentally ill person, as defined in sub-
section (e) of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-2946, and amendments thereto, who
is likely to cause harm to self and others, as defined in subsection (f)(3)
of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-2946, and amendments thereto. The other pro-
visions of subsection (f) of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 59-2946, and amendments
thereto, shall not apply.

      (3) When reasonable grounds exist to believe that a defendant who
has been adjudged incompetent to stand trial is competent, the court in
which the criminal case is pending shall conduct a hearing in accordance
with K.S.A. 22-3302 and amendments thereto to determine the person's
present mental condition. Reasonable notice of such hearings shall be
given to the prosecuting attorney, the defendant and the defendant's at-
torney of record, if any. If the court, following such hearing, finds the
defendant to be competent, the proceedings pending against the defend-
ant shall be resumed.

      (4) A defendant committed to a public institution under the provi-
sions of this section who is thereafter sentenced for the crime charged at
the time of commitment may be credited with all or any part of the time
during which the defendant was committed and confined in such public
institution.

      New Sec.  9. The secretary of social and rehabilitation services shall
convene a task force to study current programs and laws for alleged of-
fenders with disabilities that render such offenders potentially incompe-
tent to stand trial, but who do not meet the criteria for involuntary com-
mitment under Kansas law. The task force shall review and make
recommendations on the adequacy of Kansas programs and services, and

duty of registration, except that no offender may apply as provided in this

The court shall hold a hearing on the application at which the applicant
and any interested persons may present witnesses and other evidence.

      (b) At such hearing, if the person is a person who is required to
register due to a conviction of a sexually violent crime as defined in K.S.A.

fender, does not suffer from a mental abnormality or personality disorder

crime, the court shall grant an order relieving the offender of the duty of
further registration under this act. For purposes of this act, ``mental ab-

tional or volitional capacity which predisposes the person to commit a

a preponderance of the evidence that the offender is rehabilitated, the
court shall grant an order relieving the offender of the duty of further
registration under this act.

      (d) Any person registered as provided in this act may apply to the
sentencing court for an order relieving such person of the duty of regis-
tration for any conviction which has been set aside. The court shall hold
a hearing on the application at which the applicant shall present evidence
verifying that such applicant's conviction was set aside. If the court finds
that the person's conviction was set aside, the court shall grant an order
relieving the person of the duty of further registration under this act for
any conviction which has been set aside. Such court granting such an
order shall forward a copy of such order to the sheriff of the county in
which such person has registered and to the Kansas bureau of investi-
gation. Upon receipt of such copy of the order, such sheriff and the Kan-
sas bureau of investigation shall remove such person's name from the
registry for any conviction which has been set aside. Nothing contained
in this subsection shall relieve any person of the duty to register or any
other duty prescribed under this act for any conviction which has not
been set aside.

      (e) Any No person required to register as an offender pursuant to the
Kansas offender registration act, K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq., and amendments
thereto, who has a second or subsequent conviction for an offense which
requires registration pursuant to such act, and any person who has been
convicted of an aggravated offense, shall not be granted an order relieving
the offender of further registration under this act. The provisions of this
subsection shall expire on June 30, 2009.

ments or information, and specifically are subject to the provisions of the
Kansas open records act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., and amendments thereto,

mation which specifically and individually identifies the victim of any of-
fender required to register as provided in this act shall not be disclosed
other than to law enforcement agencies.

      Sec.  17. K.S.A. 38-1611 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-

and

      (3) fingerprints or photographs taken under subsection (a)(3) shall be
processed and disseminated in the same manner as those of persons of
