What’s in it

AI summary When setting bail for certain violent crimes, judges must carefully consider if a person might hurt someone or damage property if they are released. The law would set minimum amounts of money required for bail based on how serious the felony is. These new minimums range from $5,000 for some felonies up to $500,000 for others.1

This bill relates to pretrial bond amounts for certain felonies. The bill provides that for certain violent offenses, a court setting bond must give significant consideration to the danger a defendant poses to another person or the property of another if the defendant is not detained pending trial.2 (bail and bail restrictions) and making a finding on the record, the following shall be presumed to be the minimum pretrial bond amounts for each count charged notwithstanding any other provision of law: for a class “A” felony, a $500,000 bond; for a class “B” forcible felony, a $25,000 bond; for a class “C” forcible felony, a $10,000 bond; and for a class “D” forcible felony, a $5,000 bond. The bill provides that the court shall require the execution of a bail bond with sufficient surety, or the deposit of cash in lieu of bond.
