Bond; require secured bond for certain bail restricted offenses.

This bill would require that people charged with crimes punishable by more than one year in prison (referred to as "bail restricted offenses") must post a secured bond for pretrial release. A secured bond means they must provide collateral, such as cash, property, or a surety bond, rather than being released on their own promise (like "own recognizance"). It prohibits judges from granting unsecured release for these serious offenses, though judges retain discretion for less serious charges. The bill would take effect January 1, 2027, if enacted.
