Eliminates presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses.

This bill eliminates the automatic presumption that defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses can be released before trial. It directly affects individuals with prior convictions for home invasion burglary (N.J.S. 2C:18-2.1) or residential burglary (N.J.S. 2C:18-2.2) within the last 90 days. Under the bill, courts must now prove a defendant’s release would not endanger public safety or interfere with justice - rather than assuming release is appropriate. This shifts the burden from "release unless proven unsafe" to "detention unless proven safe" for these specific repeat offenders. The bill does not change pretrial release rules for other offenses.
