New Jersey A250 eliminates the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses.

New Jersey A250 amends the state's pretrial release law to eliminate the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses. The bill specifies that the presumption does not apply to defendants previously convicted of home invasion or burglary of a residence. Courts must consider various non-monetary conditions to ensure the defendant's appearance in court, community safety, and compliance with the criminal justice process. The court may also impose monetary bail if necessary.
