bailable offenses; requirements; release

Summary

The bill revises the state's bail statutes to make bail unavailable for capital offenses, specific sexual and child‑molestation crimes, and serious felonies involving illegal immigration status. It also creates a hearing process for other felonies where the state shows the defendant poses a substantial danger, and outlines factors judges must consider when setting bail. The changes affect anyone arrested for these offenses and aim to balance public safety with defendants' rights.
