Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that if a person has a warrant in another county for an offense, then, no later than 5 calendar days after the end of any detention issued on the charge in the arresting county, the county where the warrant is issued shall arrange for the transport of the person to the county where the warrant was issued for a pretrial release hearing (rather than the county where the warrant is outstanding shall do one of the following: (1) transport the person to the county where the warrant was issued; or (2) quash the warrant and order the person released on the case for which the warrant was issued only when the county that issued the warrant fails to transport the defendant in the timeline as proscribed). Provides that the arresting county is not required to transport the person to the county that issued the warrant.
