Bill > HB5441

This bill repeals the 1966 PA 257 law, which provided for the bail of persons arrested for or accused of criminal offenses involving traffic offenses or misdemeanors. The bill sets the conditions under which security is required, the kind and amount of security required, the conditions under which security may be forfeited and the manner of forfeiture, and penalties for violations. The bill will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law, and it is tied to the enactment of two other bills, House Bills 5436 and 5442, which are also related to criminal procedure and bail.
