Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to making the crime of public lewdness eligible for bail

AI Summary

This bill amends the Criminal Procedure Law to make the crime of public lewdness, as defined under Article 245 of the Penal Law, eligible for bail. This means that individuals charged with public lewdness or public lewdness in the first degree can now be released on their own recognizance or under certain conditions pending trial, rather than being required to post bail. The bill aims to provide courts with more flexibility in determining appropriate pretrial release conditions for defendants accused of these specific offenses.
