Bill Summary
For legislation to review of bail for inability to pay. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 276 of the General Laws to allow a person who remains in custody 48 hours after being granted bail due to inability to meet the conditions of release to have the bail conditions reviewed by the bail official who imposed them. The bail official must revise any conditions that have prevented the defendant from being released, unless the official finds clear and convincing evidence that less restrictive conditions cannot reasonably assure the person's appearance in court or will endanger the safety of others. The bill also outlines the process for subsequent reviews of bail conditions, including the required notice period and the ability to request a review based on new information, such as the person's inability to post the required bail.
