AI Summary
This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants who commit certain firearm offenses under the Graves Act, a law that imposes mandatory minimum sentences for certain crimes involving the use or possession of firearms. The bill amends existing law to allow prosecutors to file a motion seeking the pretrial detention of eligible defendants for specific categories of serious crimes, including certain first- and second-degree offenses, crimes punishable by life imprisonment, and crimes involving the use or possession of firearms. The bill also outlines the procedures for the pretrial detention hearing, including the defendant's rights and the standards of proof required to overcome the presumption of detention.
