A bill for an act relating to initial appearance minimum bond amounts for certain criminal offenses.

This bill sets a $100,000 minimum bond amount for individuals arrested on warrants for six specific serious offenses in Iowa, including attempted murder (Code §707.11), assault with a weapon (§708.1), and possession by a felon (§724.26). It directly affects defendants charged with these offenses by requiring magistrates to set bonds no lower than $100,000 at initial appearances, overriding standard bond schedules. The key provision prevents the use of pre-set judicial council bond schedules for these cases, mandating individualized minimums based on the offense. This change applies only to the listed offenses and forcible felonies, not all criminal cases. The bill aims to ensure higher bail for the most severe charges at the initial court appearance.
