Bill > HB4656

This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to provide new requirements for courts when imposing conditions of release on defendants, including a requirement to consider referrals to pretrial services and to state the reasoning for each condition imposed. It also allows defendants to request a hearing to reevaluate any significant liberty restraint conditions after 60 days of compliance, with a rebuttable presumption that the condition must be discontinued unless certain circumstances apply. The bill also adds a new section providing for a due process hearing within 48 hours if a defendant remains incarcerated after a pretrial release decision, with the court required to find clear and convincing evidence of a risk of absconding or harm to justify continued detention or restrictive conditions.
