Constitution; amend to prohibit unsecured judicial release for persons charged with certain offenses.

This proposed constitutional amendment (SC 510) would prohibit judges from granting unsecured release (release without requiring bail) to individuals charged with "bail restricted offenses," defined as crimes punishable by more than one year in prison. Instead, such individuals would only be eligible for release through secured bonds (monetary, property, or surety). Judges would retain discretion to grant unsecured release for charges not classified as "bail restricted offenses." The amendment requires voter approval in 2026 and died in committee in February 2026, meaning it is not currently law.
