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

This bill removes the automatic right to pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses in New Jersey. It directly affects individuals accused of burglary or home invasion who have prior arrests or convictions for similar crimes within the past 90 days. Under the new rules, judges will no longer presume these defendants should be released on their own recognizance and must instead evaluate whether release conditions can ensure their court appearance and community safety. The legislation allows courts to impose non-monetary restrictions such as avoiding contact with victims and witnesses, curfews, and regular check-ins with law enforcement.
