Rule 21 Transfers

If someone on pretrial release needs to move to a different county, pretrial services can help set up a transfer. This means the person can be supervised in their new location instead of the county where their case started. Pretrial services can both send people out to other counties and accept people coming in from other counties.

Any pretrial services office that handles these transfers has to have clear written rules for how they decide on transfer requests. This keeps the process fair and consistent, so people know what to expect if they need to move while their case is pending.

Transfers can also happen between courts in the same county, like if a case moves from one court to another within the same jurisdiction. These local transfers follow whatever rules or policies that specific court system has in place.
