HB4900

HB4900 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to revise conditions for pretrial release, focusing on ensuring defendant appearance and community.

HB4900 modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 by updating the criteria courts must consider when setting conditions for pretrial release. The bill emphasizes ensuring the defendant's appearance in court and the safety of the community. Courts must weigh factors such as the nature of the offense, evidence against the defendant, the defendant's history and characteristics, and the risk of obstructing justice. The bill also allows for the use of risk assessment tools to aid in determining appropriate release conditions.
