Bill > HB4083

This bill amends Arizona law regarding bailable offenses and release requirements, aiming to clarify when individuals can be released from custody before trial. It modifies the conditions under which a person charged with certain serious felonies, including those involving illegal immigration status, sexual assault, child molestation, or violent offenses, may be denied bail, emphasizing the need for clear and convincing evidence that the individual poses a substantial danger to the community and that no release conditions can ensure safety. The bill also updates the factors a judicial officer must consider when determining release or bail amounts, explicitly adding the accused's financial ability to pay bail as a consideration and specifying that electronic monitoring, if available, should be at no cost to the individual when released on bail for certain felony offenses.
