PRIOR PROVISIONS
A prior section 3152, as added by Pub. L. 89-465, Sec. 3(a), June

AMENDMENTS
1982 - Pub. L. 97-267 struck out "agencies" after "services" in
section catchline, divided previously unlettered text provisions
into subsecs. (a), (b), and (c), and substituted revised provisions
as so redesignated for provisions which required the Director of
the Administrative Office of the United States Courts to establish,
on a demonstration basis, in each of ten representative judicial
districts (other than the District of Columbia), a pretrial
services agency authorized to maintain effective supervision and
control over, and to provide supportive services to, defendants
released under this chapter such districts to be designated by the
Chief Justice of the United States after consultation with the
Attorney General, on the basis of such considerations as the number
of criminal cases prosecuted annually in the district, the
percentage of defendants in the district presently detained prior
to trial, the incidence of crime charged against persons released
pending trial under this chapter, and the availability of community
resources to implement the conditions of release which may be
imposed under this chapter.
CHANGE OF NAME
Words "magistrate judge" substituted for "magistrate" in subsec.
