New York bill S07015 aims to make crimes by gang or enterprise members eligible for bail.

The New York bill S07015 amends the criminal procedure law to allow bail eligibility for crimes committed by members of street gangs or criminal enterprises. This includes felonies or misdemeanors involving harm to identifiable persons or property, or charges of criminal possession of a firearm. The prosecutor must show reasonable cause to believe the defendant committed the crime and any underlying crime. If the court finds the theft negligible and not furthering other criminal activity, the defendant may be released on their own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions.
