HB4903

HB4903 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to revise procedures for revoking pretrial release and imposing sanctions.

HB4903 modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to change the conditions under which a defendant's pretrial release can be revoked. The bill specifies that pretrial release may be revoked if the defendant is charged with a new felony or Class A misdemeanor during their pretrial release, has abused the pretrial release system, or has shown a pattern of failing to appear in court. The bill also mandates that revocation hearings occur within 96 hours of the State's petition or the court's motion.
