Revises provisions relating to bail. (BDR 14-725)
This bill changes Nevada's bail rules for defendants who commit new felonies while on release. If a defendant is convicted of a new felony during their bail period, their bail must be immediately revoked and they must remain in jail without the possibility of being released again before trial. It removes an existing procedure that sometimes allowed re-release after a new arrest for certain felonies. The bill directly affects defendants charged with new crimes while out on bail and requires courts to follow this mandatory process.
