BILL NUMBER:S2024 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to requiring court review of domestic violence bail applications PURPOSE OF THE BILL: This act shall be known as the Isol Cotto Act. This bill will create a provision requiring domestic violence defendants to appear before a judge prior to release on bail. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 2 of the bill creates section 510.25 in the criminal procedure law that mandates an individual arrested for a domestic violence offense shall not be released on bail until they have appeared before a judge. The court shall assess the risk to the victim in the review of the bail application. If there is no appearance before a judge within 12 hours of the arrest then the accused shall be released on bail. JUSTIFICATION: This bill requires that an individual arrested for certain domestic violence offenses appear before a judge prior to being released on bail. The intimacy involved in domestic violence makes it different than other crimes. Often times the victim and the accused live together, therefore, when a person is released on bail they immediately come into contact with the victim. The victim may now be at a higher risk for abuse just for reporting the crime.
