A 1586 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the application of bail in certain prostitution and labor trafficking cases

This bill modifies bail procedures for defendants charged with specific crimes related to prostitution and labor trafficking. It adds provisions requiring courts to consider bail or remand in cases involving promoting prostitution (under Penal Law §§ 230.25, 230.30, 230.32) or compelling prostitution (§ 230.33), as well as labor trafficking (§ 135.35) or aggravated labor trafficking (§ 135.37). Prosecutors must show reasonable cause that the defendant committed the offense, and courts may release defendants on their own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions if the alleged harm (like negligible theft) appears unrelated to further criminal activity. The bill directly affects individuals facing these specific charges in New York courts.
