Bill > SB0002

This bill modifies Indiana's bail procedures by establishing stricter criteria for denying bail for offenses other than murder, requiring the state to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the proof of guilt is strong and by clear and convincing evidence that the arrestee is dangerous and cannot be safely released under any conditions. It also introduces new procedures for bail hearings, clarifies when a court can retain cash bail for costs without an indigency hearing if the defendant agrees, and removes outdated provisions related to repeat violent offenders. The bill aims to ensure public safety while outlining specific legal standards and processes for bail determinations.
