An act relating to bail and violations of conditions of release

This bill modifies Vermont's bail and pretrial release laws to increase accountability for individuals who violate court conditions while awaiting trial. It removes the $200 limit on bail amounts for defendants who commit new offenses while on pretrial release and allows courts to consider past compliance with release conditions when setting new terms. The legislation also establishes a faster hearing process for release violations, bars repeat offenders from diversion programs, and requires annual reporting on restorative justice referrals by state agencies.
