What’s in it

AI summary People arrested for certain serious crimes, such as attempted murder or assault with a weapon, would face a minimum bond amount of at least $100,000. Judges would not be allowed to use standard bond schedules for these specific offenses or for forcible felonies. This change ensures that people charged with these violent crimes cannot be released using lower, pre-set bond amounts.¹
