Summary
The bill amends Vermont’s criminal procedure rules so that when an officer makes a warrantless arrest, they must provide a judge with an affidavit that states the charges the prosecutor plans to file and any bail or release conditions requested. This gives judges the information they need to decide quickly whether to release the person temporarily.
