Authorizes bail for certain felony offenses involving synthetic opioids.

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to authorize the imposition of bail for certain felony offenses involving the manufacture, sale, distribution, or possession with intent to sell synthetic opioids, including fentanyl and nitazene. The prosecutor must show reasonable cause to believe the defendant committed the crime and any underlying crime. The court may release the defendant on their own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions if the theft is negligible and not in furtherance of other criminal activity.
