Summary

The bill creates a list of felony offenses that are classified as dangerous or violent for the purpose of bail hearings. If a prosecuting authority proves the defendant poses a risk, a court may deny bail for those offenses, but the rule only takes effect after a constitutional amendment is approved. It would affect defendants charged with the listed crimes and the courts handling their bail decisions.
