Concerning pretrial release.

Summary

The bill forces judges to write clear release conditions, explain penalties for violations, and record why they grant personal recognizance or set bail below the prosecutor’s recommendation when certain risk factors are present. It applies to adult and juvenile cases, adding factors like attempts to flee, foot pursuits, use of substantial police resources, violent or firearm offenses, and the defendant’s history. The goal is to make release decisions more transparent and ensure public safety.
