This bill died with 2023 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Provides that a court, in setting bail, shall consider all relevant information available to the court. Removes a provision requiring a court to consider releasing a defendant without money bail under certain circumstances, and prohibits a court from releasing certain arrestees without money bail. Provides that a court is not required to administer a pretrial risk assessment to an arrestee if doing so will unduly delay the consideration of an appropriate amount of bail for an arrestee. (Under current law, a court is not required to administer an assessment if doing so will delay the arrestee's release.)
