Vermont H0866 modifies bail and pretrial release conditions, including mandatory detention and enhanced bail for repeat offenders.

Vermont H0866 revises bail and pretrial release conditions by eliminating limitations on bail imposition and setting mandatory detention and enhanced bail for repeat offenders. It mandates detention without bail for certain defendants, including those previously convicted of multiple offenses or who have failed to appear in court multiple times. It also requires courts to hold an expedited hearing within 72 hours if a defendant requests one. The bill allows law enforcement officers to recommend detention without bail or bail amounts, which the court must consider.
