Modifies Supreme Court Rule 33.01 relating to conditions of release from custody in criminal proceedings
Second Read and Referred S Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee
Summary
The bill revises Rule 33.01 so courts must first consider non‑financial conditions for a defendant’s release and only impose monetary conditions when necessary. It requires the least restrictive conditions that secure the defendant’s appearance and protect public safety. The changes apply to all bailable misdemeanor and felony cases.
