Maine LD179 repeals the Class E crime for violating conditions of release for those granted bail.

Maine LD179 amends the Maine Bail Code by eliminating the Class E crime for violating conditions of release for criminal defendants who have been granted preconviction or post-conviction bail. This change removes the specific penalty for such violations while maintaining other penalties for violating release conditions. The bill does not affect the Class C crime for violating conditions of release.
