Added Co-Sponsor Rep. Michael J. Coffey, Jr.
Summary
The bill says that when a person released before trial while wearing an electronic monitor is later charged with a felony (or Class A misdemeanor) that allegedly happened during the release, a judge must hold a hearing and can cancel the release, keeping the person in custody until the case is resolved. It applies to defendants released for serious offenses and changes the usual rule about judges having to find continued detention necessary. The change is meant to tighten supervision of high‑risk pretrial defendants.
