Clarifies procedures for revocation of pretrial release for certain defendants.

This bill (A 786) clarifies court procedures for temporarily detaining defendants who violate pretrial release conditions or commit new crimes while on release. It requires courts to find "clear and convincing evidence" that no bail or conditions would ensure court appearance or public safety before revoking release, and mandates consideration of risk assessments for new offenses. The bill specifically prevents revocation for marijuana-related violations (e.g., possession under N.J.S.2C:35-10 or 2C:35-5). It directly affects defendants on pretrial release who face new charges or breach release terms, ensuring consistent application of existing standards. The changes align with a 2023 criminal justice reform recommendation.
