Bail matters.

Summary

The proposal would require the state to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the crime is evident or strongly presumed, and by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is dangerous and no release conditions would protect public safety. It applies to all offenses except murder, establishing a rapid bail hearing process and limiting the use of monetary bail. The measure aims to keep potentially dangerous defendants detained while preserving constitutional rights at the hearing.
