Bill Summary
For legislation relative to probation surrender and bail revocation. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing laws in Massachusetts to allow a probationer charged with violating the terms of their probation to be admitted to bail pending a final surrender hearing, similar to the process for other prisoners. The bill also modifies section 57 of chapter 276 to provide more details on the bail process, including the types of securities that can be used and the requirements for certain types of offenses. Additionally, the bill amends section 58 of chapter 276 to require a hearing to determine if the release of a person held under arrest or committed, including for a probation violation, will reasonably assure their appearance in court.
