Summary

The bill revises when officers can issue an appearance ticket instead of making a custodial arrest for low‑level offenses, and it creates a new system allowing pre‑arraignment cash bail tied to those tickets. It also removes a specific subsection of the criminal procedure law and updates related statutes to match. The changes affect police practices, people arrested for minor crimes, and the court’s handling of bail and tickets.
