A 7723 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to expanding qualifying offenses eligible for pretrial detention and bail

This bill expands the list of offenses for which courts may deny pretrial release or require bail, directly affecting defendants charged with these specific crimes. Key additions include sex trafficking, witness intimidation/tampering, certain hate crimes, crimes involving family members (like assault or strangulation), and offenses committed while on probation or after violating release conditions. The law specifies that courts can order pretrial detention for these qualifying offenses instead of releasing defendants on their own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions. It does not change bail amounts or sentencing but alters when pretrial detention becomes an option for these listed offenses.
