Modifies Supreme Court Rule 33.01 relating to conditions of release from custody in criminal proceedings

Summary

The bill amends Missouri Supreme Court Rule 33.01 so that anyone charged with a bailable offense must be released from custody unless the court finds release would threaten appearance or public safety. Release is to be on the defendant’s own recognizance and only subject to the least restrictive conditions necessary, with a preference for non‑monetary measures.
