New York S00032 amends the criminal procedure law to require courts to set bail for dangerous defendants based on individual risk factors.

New York S00032 amends the criminal procedure law to require courts to make an individualized determination when setting bail for defendants who pose a threat to public safety. The court must consider the defendant's prior felony conviction, failure to appear in court, arrest during the interim period while awaiting a preliminary hearing or trial, and other relevant factors. The court must then select a securing order consistent with its determination. This change aims to ensure that bail decisions are based on the specific circumstances of each defendant.
