What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a judge may release a person charged with a crime without

bail, or may release the defendant only if he or she executes an unsecured appearance

bond, or may require a defendant to execute a secured bond to be released. Under

this bill, a judge may not release a defendant without bail or on an unsecured bond

if the defendant has previously failed to comply with a condition of his or her release

for the present offense. Such a defendant may be released only if he or she executes

a secured bond or deposits cash in lieu of a bond.
