Limits the provision of charitable bail to misdemeanor defendants who are first time offenders

This bill limits charitable bail organizations from providing bail for misdemeanor cases. It specifically restricts such bail to first-time offenders charged with a single misdemeanor offense and caps the amount at $2,000 or less. Charitable bail organizations are also prohibited from acting as surety for any defendant under this provision. The law directly affects charitable bail groups and misdemeanor defendants with no prior criminal charges.
