Revise laws on a judge's ability to provide bail to certain defendants
HB 415 revises the laws concerning a judge's ability to admit defendants to bail. The bill specifically limits a judge's authority to grant or continue bail for individuals who have an active warrant from another jurisdiction. This means defendants with outstanding warrants from other jurisdictions will not be eligible for bail in the current proceeding.

MINOR
The bill text was updated to remove the 'END' marker, indicating the conclusion of the document, and to adjust the punctuation at the end of the amendment clause. These changes appear to be technical formatting updates rather than substantive policy modifications.
