Makes the crimes of menacing and stalking bail eligible
S 1905 amends New York's criminal procedure law to make charges of menacing and stalking eligible for bail consideration. Specifically, it adds these crimes to the list of offenses where defendants may be released on bail (rather than being held without bail), by creating new qualifying offense categories in sections 510.10 and 530.40. The bill directly affects individuals charged with menacing (under Penal Law sections 120.13-120.15) or stalking (under sections 120.45-120.60). This change modifies bail eligibility rules without altering the underlying criminal definitions of these offenses.
