Establishes a rebuttable presumption for pretrial detention of individuals charged with theft of a motor vehicle.

This bill amends existing law to establish a rebuttable presumption that a person charged with theft of a motor vehicle should be detained prior to trial. Under the bill, a prosecutor may file a motion for pretrial detention if the defendant is charged with certain serious crimes, including theft of a motor vehicle. The court must hold a hearing to determine if pretrial detention is necessary to ensure the defendant's appearance in court, protect public safety, and prevent obstruction of justice. The defendant has the right to be represented by counsel and to present evidence.
