Constitution; amend to provide secured bond requirements for bail restricted offenses.

Summary

The resolution would add a new constitutional section that bars judges from releasing anyone charged with a "bail‑restricted" offense—defined as a crime that could carry more than one year in prison—on an unsecured release. Those defendants would have to post a monetary, property, or surety bond to be released. The amendment would take effect after voter approval in the November 2026 election.
