SB112

Modifies conditions for pretrial release and failure to appear in court.

Modifies conditions for pretrial release and failure to appear in court. Clarifies that a defendant's absence may not be considered a failure to appear if the defendant's counsel is present and the court proceeding is not the defendant's trial, arraignment, contested hearing, or a hearing in which a witness or victim is testifying before the court. Adds exceptions for certain offenses. Requires municipal courts to not consider a person's absence from a place and time specified in a summons or summons and complaint as a failure to appear if the person's counsel is present on their behalf.
