Requires Pretrial Services to recommend pretrial detention of certain repeat offenders.

This New Jersey bill (A 2511) requires courts to presume pretrial detention for certain repeat offenders or those facing serious charges, rather than allowing release on bail. It directly affects defendants with prior convictions for specific crimes - including murder, life-sentence offenses, two or more violent crimes, or domestic violence - when prosecutors file a motion. Key provisions include a rebuttable presumption of detention (meaning defendants can challenge it with evidence), mandatory hearings within three days of a motion, and a lower burden of proof ("preponderance of evidence") to overturn the presumption. The law aims to ensure defendants appear in court and do not pose community safety risks, while still allowing courts to consider release conditions if justified.
