HB 2536 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Require full cash bail for offenders who are rearrested for certain crimes while out on bond and enhanced criminal penalties

HB 2536 requires full cash bail for individuals rearrested for violent or gun-related crimes while on bail for a prior similar offense. It applies specifically to people already out on bond for violent or gun-related crimes who commit another offense in that category. The bill mandates cash-only bail (no bail bondsmen allowed) and requires consecutive sentencing if the person is convicted of the new crime. This changes bail procedures and sentencing for repeat offenders in specific violent or gun crime cases.
