They are automatically held for court

When a felony charge is already on the docket and is held for court, summary charges related to that case are automatically held for court as well. This means that the legal proceedings regarding the summary charges will proceed alongside the felony charges, ensuring that all related offenses are addressed in a single judicial process. This approach helps streamline the court system and ensures that defendants face all relevant charges in a unified manner, rather than having separate hearings which could lead to inconsistencies or misunderstandings regarding the case.
