New York S10104 expands qualifying offenses for bail eligibility and mandates an electronic tracking system for bail decisions.

New York S10104 amends the criminal procedure law to include additional offenses as qualifying for bail eligibility, such as assault, arson, and burglary. It also requires the Office of Court Administration, in conjunction with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, to manage an electronic tracking system for all bail decisions. This system will record the number of cases where bail was granted, denied, or not required, and if granted, the average amount of bail. The Office must deliver an annual report to the legislature detailing these records.
