S 5880 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to qualifying offenses for pre-trial detention

This bill amends New York's criminal procedure law to remove an exception that previously allowed certain drug-related class A felonies to qualify for pre-trial detention. Specifically, it eliminates the exclusion for controlled substances offenses in class A felony cases, meaning all class A felonies (including drug-related ones) now meet the standard for pre-trial detention eligibility. The change directly affects individuals charged with class A felonies involving controlled substances, who may now face pre-trial detention under the same criteria as other serious felony cases. The bill modifies Section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
