BILL NUMBER: S2608 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to denial of recognizance or bail in certain cases PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would seek to curtail pretrial release on recognizance or bail of persons charged with crimes of violence who have certain prior felony convictions or who are charged with committing a crime of violence while at liberty on recognizance or bail for another felony. This bill would prohibit the release of persons charged with dangerous felonies where their prior involvement with the criminal justice system furnishes ample evidence of the fact that the present charge is not an isolated incident of serious involvement In effect, it would strike at the core of one of the most serious threats to public safety today: the failure to recognize public safety as a criterion in deciding pretrial release matters. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : This bill amends the recognizance and bail articles of the Criminal Procedure Law. It adds a new definition, "person who must be committed to the custody of the sheriff", to establish the criteria for prohibition of bail or recognizance.
