Revise laws on a judge's ability to provide bail to certain defendants

This bill amends Montana law to restrict judges from granting bail to defendants who are on warrants issued by other jurisdictions. Under the new rules, judges can only admit defendants to bail if they are properly appearing before the court and are not subject to an out-of-state warrant. The legislation also clarifies that bail must be continued when a defendant is bound over to another court, with exceptions for those on external warrants. Additionally, the law maintains provisions allowing bail during appeals and permits virtual appearances through audio-video communication.
