New York A00151 amends the criminal procedure law to include all hate crimes as qualifying offenses for bail decisions. Courts must consider hate crimes when determining whether to release a defendant on their own recognizance, under non-monetary conditions, or setting bail. If the defendant is charged with a felony hate crime, the court may commit the defendant to the custody of the sheriff. This change takes effect immediately.
