Bill > SB2999

This bill modifies the conditions under which a defendant's pretrial release can be revoked. Previously, a defendant's pretrial release could only be revoked if they had already been granted pretrial release for a felony or Class A misdemeanor and were subsequently charged with another felony or Class A misdemeanor that occurred while they were on pretrial release. This bill expands that provision, allowing the State to seek revocation of pretrial release if a defendant is charged with any felony or Class A misdemeanor that allegedly occurred during their pretrial release, regardless of their prior release history for such offenses. The bill also removes a provision that prevented revocation for certain less serious offenses (Class B or C misdemeanors, petty offenses, or ordinance violations) that occurred during pretrial release, though it maintains the possibility of sanctions for such violations.
