Kansas HB2751 increases the minimum bail requirements for certain crimes from $50,000 to $100,000. It also requires specific findings to reduce bail, such as determining the defendant is not likely to reoffend or agrees to participate in a drug treatment program. If bail is reduced, it must be conditioned on the defendant's placement in a house arrest program. The bill amends and repeals several sections of Kansas Statutes Annotated, including those related to controlled substances and criminal street gangs.
