Bill Summary
Provides relative to a mandatory minimum bail amount for certain offenses
AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory minimum bail amount for certain crimes of violence in Louisiana. Specifically, it requires the court to set an initial bail of at least $50,000 for any crime of violence as defined in the state's criminal code, and at least $100,000 if a firearm was used during the commission of the crime. The bill provides exceptions if the mandatory minimum bail amount would violate the factors used to determine bail, and it does not apply to crimes of violence where the law states the defendant shall not be admitted to bail.
