Eliminates presumption of pretrial release for sex offenses and certain violent crimes committed using a deadly weapon.

This bill eliminates the automatic presumption that defendants charged with certain offenses can be released before trial. It specifically removes this presumption for defendants accused of sex offenses (as defined under Megan's Law) or violent crimes committed using a deadly weapon (such as aggravated assault, robbery, or sexual assault involving a weapon). Under current law, courts generally assume pretrial release is appropriate unless specific risks exist; this bill requires courts to consider detention for these cases without that automatic assumption. The change directly affects defendants facing these specific charges during pretrial proceedings in New Jersey courts.
