No Bail Post-Jail Act
S 2768, the "No Bail Post-Jail Act," would automatically deny pretrial release (bail) to certain individuals charged with felony offenses. It directly affects adults or juveniles charged as adults who face felony charges and have a prior felony conviction for a crime of violence that resulted in at least 30 days in a state or federal prison (excluding pretrial detention). The bill adds a specific provision requiring judicial officers to find such individuals "pose a danger to the safety of the community" and deny bail if all three conditions are met: (1) charged with a felony, (2) adult or juvenile charged as adult, and (3) prior violent felony conviction with 30+ days incarceration. This changes the standard for pretrial release eligibility for this specific group.
