About this statute
The text amends existing rules and says a person accused in a criminal case who misses a court hearing without a documented lawful excuse, after lawful summons and an arrest decision, may only receive certain benefits for 12 weeks at a reduced level. Perioden i stk. 1 regnes fra det tidspunkt, hvor retten har besluttet anholdelse. The prosecutor must notify the municipality in specified cases involving an arrested defendant who missed a court hearing, and also if that arrest decision is later revoked. Bestemmelsen udsætter virkningen af § 74 a, stk. 4, for visse personer på ledighedsydelse, indtil de igen kan modtage ledighedsydelse efter § 74 a, stk. 2 eller 3. Den fastslår også, at § 89, stk. 3, ikke gælder for visse tiltalte, der er udeblevet fra et retsmøde og er omfattet af en anholdelsesbeslutning. Pension under certain sections may be capped for up to 12 weeks at an amount matching specified social benefits, if the recipient is accused in a criminal case, failed to appear at a court hearing without lawful excuse, and the court has ordered arrest.
